cd player freezes computer system

I have a Packardbell pc with an AMD K6 333. While online and running several programs i put a cd into my Qdrive. The name of the cd oddly enough was "System of a Down" It started automaticly installing a music video. Then it froze the mouse, and the keyboard froze. NOW EVERYTIME I TRY TO OPEN WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OR THE CD PLAYER THE SYSTEM WILL FREEZE. I have tried to reboot from the master recovery cd this doesn't help the problem still occurred. I have fixed the media player by downloading a new one. This solved that but i still have a problem with the cd player. CAN YOU HELP ME?

I would simply re-install windows again,(it will retain all your settings if you choose RE-INSTALL) and that would definantly fix your problem.

Have you run a virus scanner?

Also it may be a good idea :
Download the Startup COP a free pcmag utility from
http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/pctech/content/18/08/ut1808.001.html

Run it and it will show you everything that is listed in all the possible startup
places, and allow you to disable things one at a time until the problem is eliminated.
This is very good for cleaning up odd problems.

Last step would be to reinstall windows. I would try reinstalling CD. Remove it from the Device list, and Windows should re-install it automatically at the next reboot.

I hope this helps !

You could also just re-install the CD Player.
Go to Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs.
Then select the Windows Setup tab and select only the Multimedia box. You can then either re-install all the Multimedia products or individual ones.
