| 135323 | 2003-04-12 20:33:00 | On bootup the cd tray has started to open automatically-have not found a solution yet. Dont know of any changes that could have had any impact. Run XP SP1 on AMD 1Ghz with 52x CDRom drive. | Tucabia (2343) | ||
| 135324 | 2003-04-13 00:51:00 | Hi Barbara I have no idea why that would happen, but my first instinct would be to run Adaware and/or Spybot in case you have picked up some nuisance software.. After that, unless somebody can point you to a software location or setting within your computer, I would be inclined to uninstall then reinstall the CD Rom. In the meantime, think about programs loaded recently, or the activities of other users. Cheers Billy |

(You would need to reenable it if you buy any new hardware, then disable it after the device had been detected, and the problem recurred). I had a similar problem with a DVD (IDE interface) on one of my Linux machines. That turned out to be a SCSI card (with nothing connected) searching for devices at boot time. ?:| |
