ok my problem is i run windvd 4 and i have a 8x DVD i click to open windvd and it starts then the whole comp freezes what can i do to fix it

my setup is as follows

Promise ATA100TX2 controller card
Device0 8x DVD rom dma 2

is is it cause its on the controller card or what
 
The card supports ATAPI but there are some optical drives that don't get along well with Promise cards. I would suggest running your optical drives off the motherboard IDE headers and use the Promise card for your HDs and or Zip.
