    If the PC is still crashing that you haven't cleaned all of the Viruses out. there are viruses known to cause the problems that you are still seeing.

    Are you running a good antivirus program and firewall???? If not there's no reason to fix anything until you fix that. You'll keep getting viri and other nasties! Then you can get all the bad stuff off the pc.

    Buried down in the drive properties in windoze is a box which says "use this recorder" .. if it's recognised as a cd or dvd rom then have a look at that box.. or maybe there is some other nasty like securom or roxio playing games?
