    Hi guys,

    Can anyone help with an issue that is driving me mad? Although the drive seems to work fine I always get an issue when 'My Computer' is on. I pop a dvd into the drive & it will autoplay as usual. But when I stop the dvd and then right click the dvd drive so I can select eject I always get the same annoying pop up message

    "Explorer.exe - no disk

    There is no disk in the driver. Please insert a disk into drive D:"

    I can either cancel, try again or continue and pressing a couple of times clears the pop up. The dvd works absolutely fine and it does eject but how do I stop this pop up? It usually only happens the once after a boot.

    Strangely if I press the eject on the media keys whilst just on the desktop it never happens. Odd huh?

    Thanks in advance
    Wayne
