toshiba 105a satallite a105 dvd drive

I am having problems with the ma****a dvd drive and the accoustic silencer?
did a clean install of vista home prem. have also updated the accoustic silencer to 2.0 but system hangs when burning music to a cd.
under xp you could disable this feature.
any thing more I can do when running vista? toshiba sucks on this drive.
running 2gig mem.

My problem was too many programs trying to hook into dvd. Apple software mainly. Removed filters and problem was resolved.

thanks for the response. I also find that the memory upgrade to 2gig does not seem to show up in the screen from control panel, system. general info.
I have read that some have problems upgrading memory and so I think maybe it is time to upgrade laptops.

Upgraded mine to 4g, however, quite a lot of the memory upgrade was used by the on-board graphics.
