200057 2003-12-13 02:03:00 I have a problem ejecting a CD. If I right click the CD-ROM icon & click `eject` to open the CD-Rom drawer I get a BSOD as soon as the CD-Rom drawer opens. This can occur regardless of the time between closing whatever I have been working on with the CD and ejecting the CD. If I click `Esc` I get the desktop back again but very dark. Usable but a real hassle. The problem occurs on both the CD-Rom drive and the CD-RW drive. CD-RW is set as `master` and the CD-Rom as `slave`. Using W98SE on P3, 500mhz. with 500mb of ram, 40gb and 6gb HDDs`. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers; Brad

200059 2003-12-13 02:25:00 On the CD rom, does the drawer open & shut OK with the button? Likewise the CD writer. Only when I am using a CD read/write and Incd, do I need to eject via the icon.

200060 2003-12-13 03:57:00 I am using Nero Burning Rom v5.0. Both drawers open and close using the button. Same problem. Latest problems occured using with PC World cover disc. After posting the original message I did a few tests with strange results. A home-burnt data disc worked OK. Likewise Netguide mag and PC Authority cover discs. Then tried PC World cover disc again and the thing ejected using the eject command and the drawer open button. No BSOD. Turned the computer off and tried again later. Same problem. BSOD. Will try turning off then on and try different cover disc. turbi (4995)
200061 2003-12-13 04:01:00 good idea. ilikelinux (1418)
200062 2003-12-13 04:45:00 Some of the PC World discs have cause problems for me in the past and I now hold down the Shift key when closing the drawer with one in so that it does not autorun.

Just out of interest you could give your PC a scan with an up to date anti-virus program and maybe check for spyware. Probably won't make any difference but you never know.....
