This again is missing the OS. It does make a difference which
version of Windows you are using.

One thing you might try is to click on Start | Run and type
in MSCONFIG [press ok] and when the application starts
click on the Startup tab. Look through all the applications
that start when Windows boots and uncheck anything pointing
to your CD Rom drive or that provides autoplay in the CD Rom
drive.

If this does not do it, then post the version of Windows on your
system and when this begins, such as time of boot or when you
start certain applications.
