ADSL Modem Hangs up on Insert of a cd

[-kReV-]

Hi..
i recently upgraded too ADSL, and got a USB modem (Alcatel Speedtouch USB)

Everything runs sweet.. latest drivers installed... etc

BUT

if i put a cd in the drive (even just opening and closing the cd tray)
All my downloads stop, and in the Connection Icon, the lights stop flashing... for about 10 seconds
It starts up again as soon as the cd whirs up (when it knows what cd it is)

also does the same when i eject a cd... is same for all 3 of my cdrom units (1xsamsung DVD - 2x Plextor CDRW 24x)

i was thinking about getting a PCI ADSL modem, but this usb one seems fine (apart from the cd insert Problem)
Also tried this with a Fujitsu FX310 USb modem, and was the same

is not a real bad problem as such, as the downloads carry on ... just annoying, hoping it can be fixed

thx a lot

It's the IDE drivers. I had a nitemare with them hanging my system. If you have the IDE busmaster installed, remove it and try again.

tried uninstalling the ide bus master and just using standard ones... is still the same... looks like i have too live with it, until i can get a PCI modem

thanks
