My DVD/CD-Rom drive tray won't stay shut. I'll push the button and it goes in, looks like it tries to read a disk then pops back out. I just formatted today, installed graphics drivers, trillian, bersirc, myielite, and now it doesn't stay shut.

What the eff?

This is Win XP Home, my cd-rom is a Toshiba.

Anything obstructing it?

Since you just rebuilt it could be a driver issue, make sure you have the correct CD/CVC drivers since XP will recognize it as a CD and slap whatever it wants on it.

Can you put a different CD/DVD in to see if it does the same thing? That will at lease tell you if it is a hardware or a software issue. If it's hardware, replace it. If it's software, uninstall everything you installed up to where the problem started (just myielite?)

It likes my "learn japanese now" cd, I put it in, then took it out and closed it and it's staying shut.

That was wierd.

There is a joke applet that will automatically keep opening your CD tray. But, apparently you've solved it.
