Resumido:
1) Download and run the Sony BMG Uninstaller. (This will remove any possible DRM installed when using Sony CDs)
2) Search for these 2 files using Windows Explorer (afs.sys or afs2k.sys) and if found rename them by adding a 1 right before the .sys (ex. afs1.sys). These are old Oak Technologies files that have been found to conflict with cdrom.sys (the CD-ROM driver).

To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM. In the right pane, if you have UpperFilters, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry. In the right pane, if you have LowerFilters, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs. If the problem recurs, contact the program vendor to determine whether an update is available for the program.
Eu não fiz estes passos, por isso não sei se são válidos. O primeiro é uma resposta marcada e o segundo é de um site que eu visito frequentemente, então acho que a informação é válida.
