I installed Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 over the weekend.  Everything seems to be working fine, but when I put a CD in to play using Media Player - I get a message that both drives are busy and nothing will play.  But I'm able to rip a song off the CD using Roxio.  I also get the same message when I put a DVD into the drive to watch.  Both Drives are busy it says.  Thanks for the help.

I have a feeling this may have to do with Drag to Disc.It has a habit of hijacking drives so they look busy.Do you have it installed?If so,Try going to Start,Run and type msconfig.When the box pops up go to the startup tab.Uncheck DrgtoDsc,press ok and reboot your machine.
After this see if the problem goes away.If so just leave it as is.If not you can go back and reenable D2D again if you like.

Yup, try what tbrewst suggested first.  If that doesn't work, try the thread that i linked you to earlier.

Thanks for the help.  The Problem was the PC Cillion Anti Virus Software was giving the conflic.  I downloaded the patch and everything is fine.  Appreciate the help.
