upgraded 2612 to 4.000, freezes up

Good idea.
Really it does benefit you in that your computer stays up to date and hopefully ahead of the hackers and jerks who want to make life miserable for us.

Not that I am a lover of Microsoft, but at least they try to stay ahead of them.

A bit better about freezing up but still won't import cdg tracks from the cdrom.

Not all burners will work especially the older ones. You may need to upgrade it to a newer drive. MTU was using Plextor specific interface, but with version 3 went to using what is called an MMC interface. This is more common and works with many more drives. However the older drives do not use this format so will no longer work.
