CDROM Tray Opens - Comments Page 2

2 brand new drives are doing this to me, opening and closing intermittently at random. Putting in the "older" drive does not result in this behaviour.

I'm having a similar problem with both my CD ROM and my DVD RW drives... one or the other will open at boot up. But even more annoyingly, one or the other will frequently (but not always) open when I use CTRL C to copy something in WORD. Or if the tray is already open, CTRL C will close it. I have an HP Media Center PC running XP. I regularly run anti-virus and anti-spyware. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers.

My DVD\CD-RW drive has a similar problemm too. It does not open if i press the eject button once. I have to press the eject button multiple times to get it open. It even opens automatically without prompting during bootup or when the system is idle. It even ejects duringg copying of data or playing DVD or CDs.

I like the cd rom trick;i rate it 10 out 10

I've had this problem for years - spent £100 on a DVD drive that was hardly ever used then it starts doing this. I sellotaped it up for a while thinkinghtat that might brake the motor inside it but now its unsellotaped then it still happily pops out when ever I put the computer ona and goes in and out for a few minutes. Must be hardware since it does it on boot up and the computer has had new hard drives and a reinstall of the OS (Win 98) and its still happening. Only now do I try and fix it!

my CD R/W also giving thesame problem.
it open on boot na dstays open until i close it.
once i close it afetr placing a CD,It automatically opens, but not closing automatically.
What is the cause no boby knows, is it..?

have the problem to on my laptop hp but guess what its kinda rare cause sometimes it dosent do any noise and when it does it sounds if it where reading some imaginary cd haha but i got use to it so i put a little yellow sticker inside so when when it opens i read "wanna burn a cd?" lol!

YES..i too have the same problem, But even though i read and did all these things, my problem is not yet resolved.....Is there any one who have got the solution for the same ?

I had the same problem - till i looked in to the task manager and killed pdvd.exe in the process list.

I do not see anyone comment here that nero 8 does it when in use, the really annoying thing is it does not keep open, I could put up with that but it continually opens and closes my second DVD writer but not the primary/first DVD writer that Nero 8 actually uses to burn discs. Thankfully it stops when I shut down the program. Is their a setting in nero 8 to stop this happening or is it just to keep you awake.
