yes.. I have a handful of suggestions but it's really a process of elimination
it could be a problem with win media player... so the obvious route is not to auto launch via win media player & use something else like winamp

It could be a problem with the disc itself & the way you have burnt it it.. u could try burning it with another burn soft like clone cd or nero
it could be a problem with your sata card/port so try other ports
it could be a problem with your burner itself!
why don't u hit me on our chat room (irc).. i will be around for the next 25mins or so & we can explore & resolve & then post back here our findings/solution

for some odd reason my via sata card would give me a hard time with some 78hit drives.
i mean it would do 2or 3 thenit would not find the drive to get it in modeB.
when i went to the on board sata port it finds it every time.
i guess what im saying is if you have different sata port try them all.
sorry it fricken early

are you running vista.
if so try xp.
being that it locks up on even a cd song.
all i can say its try a different computer and see what happens.
i know that will be a pain,but its all i can think of.

how are you opening it - by double clicking??
place the files in the root of your C drive & navigate to it via command line
vista : start > in the search box type
cmd (press enter)
in dos prompt type :
cd c:\
then type
79unlock x
(replacing
x with the drive letter associated with the hit drive)

If you insist on using a sub dir to place the files then adjust the dos CD (change directory) command accordingly
eg.
in dos prompt type :
cd c:\79 unlock
then type
79unlock x
(replacing
x with the drive letter associated with the hit drive)

simple DOS
