I presently have MJ 7.2 My system freezes up when I try to play CD. I installed the new Beta, but that did not cure the problem. It seems to  only freeze with newer CD's (weird). This is a new problem and MJ has always worked great. I also get lock ups now when trying to Rip.

98SE
1800XP
Asus A7v733 (1007 bios flash)
SB Live
512 Ram

Thanks
Ernie

Are they multimedia CD's?  Try looking at them in Windows Explorer, are there files besides .cda?

Try fiddling digital vs. analog playback.
Try setting driver type to ASPI, IDE, whatever vs. Auto.
Try generic vs. goldenhawk drivers.

Is the ASPI layer properly installed?  Search the net for ASPICHK.EXE

I fiddled with the Digital Vs analog playback and that did not help.
I don't know how to change the ASPI, IDE settings and the generic vs goldenhawk drivers. would you please tell me how and I will give it a whirl.
Thanks Ernie

I have reinstalled, burner drivers, MJ Beta and 7.2, SB Live drivers, but still cannot play CD's on MJ without crashing. I can play on 98SE media player.
Does anyone have any ideal what my problem could be? Thanks for your help.

Unexplained crashing problems can be:

drivers for devices
Windows OS problems
corrupt system files
memory problems
hard disk problems (but probably not in this case)

You could go do Tools/Windows Update in IE.

Here's an example:

Newer CD's are sometimes "protected".  Could cause problems.  Do your older CD's also have problems?

Thanks Jim for the advise. I am starting to lean toward OS problem. Also just a note... On the CD's that cause a crash they work fine if I burn them and play, but will not play the original... goofy uh.
Thanks again.

I get a crash too...
Actually,using about 5 betas ago, cds worked great and i ripped 20 or so onto my computer.  I wanted to try out the improved CDDB so I put a CD into the drive.  ANytimne I try to open the CD, MJ crashes.  

There is no new hardware, so it cant be a hardware problem.  the only new thing is the new version of mj.

I am using beta 203, windows xp 512 ram, pIII 1gB

Dave,
I loaded one of the first Betas and had some problems so I reloaded 7 still had problem went back to a later beta still problems I not sure if I have corrupted my OS or what.
No more betas for me. I'm lost as a ball in high weeds.
