Open your CD drive, remove the CD if any are in there and reboot your PC with
an empty drive. Now try it again. If nothing happens, try this:
Start/My Computer/rightclick your CD drive, probably "D" or "E" and click
Properties/hardware tab/troubleshoot.

Mouse freezes, clock stops, ctrl-alt-delete does nothing, the only thing I can do is hit the reset button. (I've waited for 30 minutes before to see if anything will happen, but it doesn't.)
