CD Rom drive shows contents of previous CD

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Guys,

I wonder if anyone can assist with this:

XP with 2 DVD/Writer drives.

Insert a CD into drive, open contents - OK
Remove CD, My Computer recognises the CD has been removed and returns
the icon to normal
Insert a different CD and open - contents from the previous CD are
displayed.

This occurs on both drives in the system.

I've tried:

Microsoft Autorun fix - No fix
Removed drives and IDE controllers and let Windows redetect - no fix
Checked BIOS settings and restored defaults - no fix

The system isn't running anything unusual, I've even disabled all but
the necessary (Windows) items from running - no fix

Safe Mode - Everything works as expected, so it's something that
occurs only in normal mode.

Can anyone make any further suggestions - nothing hardware/software
wise has changed on the system.
I considered checking the cabling for the drives master/slave/CS or
whether they were running on their own channels, but didn't as it
works in Safe Mode and used to work I left this.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Dunnpy
