Burning CD - Temp Files Can Not Be Deleted

PinkPanther

Hello all, I normally use the built-in method in Windows XP Pro to burn my CDs. You put in a blank CD, an Explorer window pops open, you drag your files to it, and burn. Normally, this goes without any trouble.

Ever since the release of SP3 for Win2k Pro, my system freezes during shutdown. It saves settings, then says windows is shutting down, and when that dialog goes away, FREEZE. I can hear my hard drive shutdown the moment it happens.
