Like USB devices, maybe.

Thanks, this explanation makes definitely sense, it can be a path..

Or possibly your CD/DVD burning software. Or a virutal drive like Daemon.

Not really since I'm on a clean Windows XP Install so I didn't install yet any burning software nor virtual drive stuff.

Check Device Manager in Normal Mode and see what it says. Also cruise Events Viewer and see if it mentions any problems with a device during Start or Exit.
Use Selective Start-up (via MSCONFIG) to turn off programs and see if you can identify the cause that way. (When the DVD starts working, you've found the problem.)

Could you be a bit more specific on this? I've never did this selective start and I am a bit lost I'm afraid...
I checked EVENT VIEWER and noticed several errors on CD-Rom, digged a bit and got this:
Quote:
Details
Product: Windows Operating System
Event ID: 11
Source: Cdrom
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: IO_ERR_CONTROLLER_ERROR
Message: The driver detected a controller error on %1.
Explanation
This problem is typically caused by a failing cable that connects the drive to the computer.
User Action
Replace the cable.

The point is that I replaced the cable several times but STILL I got my problem. Also, I'm wondering, if it really was a cable, how comes in SafeMode still works fine? :/
