Try reinstalling the CD-rom, for this go to control panel ->device manager->locate you drive ->uninstall DVD drive -> restart your computer.
Bow after restarting XP will automatically recognise it as a new hardware and will automatically install it. This should clear up any issues you have. if not you may have a virus, IRQ conflict, or bad cd drive.
It surly must be a virus. If you don't have any antivirus or other protection installed then install Spybot or Ad-Aware or AVG Anti-Virus and Then run each of those until it finds something. Hope this will help. Good luck!
It can be because of bad registry values, you should consider a system restore or the repair install of windows xp. Do a anti-virus scan first.
