Graphics problem with first imported track - Caused by very old CD drive not useable

[Jance]

I reinstalled MTU4 on my new desktop (after uninstalling it from the original- to comply with the license agreement of course), and attempted a rip several of the CDs that had the graphics problems and wow. It worked. I was wrong to blame the software when this experience, as well as your helpful reply, shows that it was hardware. Thanks very much for responding!

Anycase:
CD Drive that didn't work: F: SONY CD-RW CRX160E 1.1b
CD Drive that worked: F: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-148A B400

Computer that didn't work: Sony PVC-RX380DS (default hardware, WinXP)
Computer that worked:Sony VGC-RB43 (only the video card upgraded, WinXP)

Thanks guys!
