| 633304 | 2008-01-24 02:39:00 | This happened before . . . but for some reason I cannot remember the cure or repair . . if there was one . Whenever I push a disc into one of the optical drives (XP-P), it usually pops out again and I have to push it in again . Twice for one insertion . . . and it's happening all the time now . Anybody got any ideas? |

| 633305 | 2008-01-24 02:54:00 | Have you installed any CD/DVD writing software lately ? Or upgraded any. Had this problem a Long time ago,and from memory (could be mistaken but I think it was Nero) it was to do with the writing software. Uninstalled it, and that fixed the problem. |

No...nothin' new so far..and the last install is a little old by now. Yeah...but I was thinkin' that too...but I may have a problem...Nero was installed a long time ago..well, after the last burn-down of the OPSYS that is so it's not a new problem by software I think. Wonder if it might be that Windows Explorer card that asks if I want to do anything-nothing-ask me when I used to put a disc in? Lately I haven't been seeing that card pop in..for a while anyway..and if MY memory isn't bad...it may be the same time that the new problem started. It might be something simple like that...I hope..any thoughts? |

You may have something there - (don't give it to me - :p - Couldn't resist) Open My Computer, right click the Optical drive/Properties/ Auto Play Tab / Down the bottom is "Prompt me each time to chose an Action", select that and apply/Ok. Heres hoping. |

The disk just sits there waiting for me to do something . Have you tried re-installing Nero or any other CD Burning software that you may have? |

| 633310 | 2008-01-24 21:08:00 | So it happens with more than one optical drive in the same computer? Yup . . . both of my DVD R/Ws . . . . . . they both do the same thing . . . that's why I suspect the software, not a firmware or hardware problem . I believe that I have the same settings in all three of my desktops right now . . and yet this one is the only one acting so . The other two also have dual DVD R/Ws too . Gonna try a reinstall of Nero . . . or maybe (dare I say it?) DVD Shrink . . . . |

| 633311 | 2008-01-24 23:45:00 | I remember something from a while back about a prankware type virus that did this to piss you off, might pay to give it a scan or two. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 633312 | 2008-01-25 00:16:00 | Yeah . . . but that's so obvious that I totally forgot it . . thanks . And another thing . . . DVD Shrink has been cranking a lot longer to encode videos lately . . wonder what's up with that? |
