The adaptor came with a cd driver disc and the instructions to insert it and choose a driver. I inserted it and tried to access it from My Computer and vista told me to insert a disc which was already inserted. So I pressed the wee button which normally opens the disc container and nothing happens. So decided to shut down vista to see if it would open when windows shut down. Now I can't shut down windows. So I have a cd stuck in the laptop and windows wont shut down. Help Help Help somebody please.	heaton (3697)

If this doesn't work try this - Hold down the Power Button that you normally press to turn on the Laptop, this will turn it off. Next get something metal, like a paper Clip straighten it out, if you look on the optical Drive face someplace there will be a tiny hole, poke the paper clip in that you should feel a slight "click"- this will pop open the Drive a small amount, pull out the cd tray , remove the CD. DON'T do this while the Laptop is running.	wainuitech (129)
