All CD/DVD operations slow ...

Hi,

I'm a new iPod owner and am NOT happy with what itunes 9.0.1.8 has done to my PC (Vista x64, 8 gigs RAM). All CD/DVD operations or horrendously slow. After I insert a CD or DVD, it will be 5 minutes or so before the icon changes to match the type of CD and the CD becomes usable. Any attempts to access the CD/DVD before then will cause Windows Explorer to hang. It appears as though iTunes has decided that it wants to own the drive; this is not good behavior.

The only way I have found to have the CD/DVD drive act normally is to have the CD inserted in the drive when the PC is booted. Obviously, this is only good for the first CD.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix?

Thanks,
Larry
