[How to] Fix CD/DVD drive cannot read discs properly in Windows 7

When i was still running Windows Vista, several people around me came across a strange problem that the CD/DVD Drive was quite hard to use. To be more detailed, the drive could not  read discs properly, especially self-made ones.

Now, with Windows 7 RTM, there is still someone troubled with this problem. And some of them has found a possible solution.

* WIN+R and type in Services.msc to run the Local Service Manager

*  Find out Shell Hardware Detection

* Right-click and hit Stop and than disable it

* Restart your computer to take effect

Note: If you come across any problem after the operation, just enable the service to restore default.
