Windows Media Player Freezes when playing Audio CD

[Claire]

When I insert an audio CD in the CD Drawer, and open either Windows Media Player (current default) or RealOne Player, I am allowed to click one function, then the entire screen freezes and I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out of window. I reinstalled RealOnePlayer, and initialized Windows Media Player, but still neither one of them will work. Any ideas?

I'm not sure I follow your description : Which function do you mean -
which exact button, or text, are you clicking on ?

It's possible the CD drive takes a while to "spin up", which may be
several seconds and in some circumstances that might look like things
have frozen (on a modern PC it shouldn't, though). Many CD drives can
be set to keep spinning the disk once inserted, which ought to prevent
that from happening.

What happens when you press CTRL+ALT+Del : What did you press next ?
