    Yeah, title says it all. Anytime I open the disc tray any music playing will loop a very short segment and for maybe a second the system just locks up. Same thing happens with print screen. Anyone else have this problem or a solution?

    Also, as a side note what does the suspend button do?

    Thanks, Sam

    I have this same problem.

    What also happens is that whenever I'm doing read/write operations to the SD card, it stutters too.

    all in all I consider them minor problems.

    Try uninstalling OSD and check if that fixes the problem. You can always reinstall OSD but at least we can be sure that OSD is the cause.

    The reason I suspect OSD to be the cause is because OSD monitors the HotKey events via WMI and synchronously process them which might be causing the issue.
