Am I the only person who's system locks up when playing C.Ds. Have spent ages searching Microsoft site and creative labs don't want to know.( stuck in the middle of a media player conflict )???

With beta software you have to expect things like this. If there's no solution mentioned on Microsoft's site, it might be worth sending them an e-mail. The chances of a reply before Hell freezes over are slim, but if you include enough information about your system, at least they might fix it in the next release, assuming it is a bug.
