DVDs/CDs cause Explorer to freeze

Whenever I've had my Inspiron 8600 on for a while and I want to put in a CD or a DVD, Explorer will freeze if I try to access My Computer. (Similar thing happens when I open up Nero Burning Rom -- the program will freeze when it tries to read the CD.) I have to reboot my laptop with the DVD/CD in the drive, and then watch it/listen to it after it finishes restarting. I'm using a QSI CDRW/DVD SBW242U drive, running on XP SP1, 512 mb.

When I went into regedit, I didn't see UpperFilters, but LowerFilters was there, and so I deleted it. However, now I can't burn anything. Nero will only allow me to rip an image, and RecordNow! doesn't recognize any recorders.
