Fix a stuck CD/DVD dialog box
Authored by: Lou Kash on Sep 29, '05 08:36:00AM

I have noticed earlier this year that the SystemUIServer freezes if you insert an empty CD while the Classic Menu Extra incl. the Classic Apple Menu is active. Classic doesn't need to be running.

My fix was the same: Eject the CD and open Activity Monitor to force quit SystemUIServer.

Conclusion: If you need the Classic Menu, don't insert empty CDs/DVDs. If you need to burn media, turn off the Classic Menu.

At least on OS 10.3.9 (and earlier).
