I installed a new LG dvdrw drive in my dell 4600 desktop.

Now when I try to load the software cd to add the software, the computer freezes up everytime. I looked at a post from 2008 with a similar problem. does that apply to any brand replacement drive? I am not a techy, but refuse to let this get the better of me! Help!
