    Everytime I press Fn + F8 to eject the optical drive, the disc eject but, every icon on my desktop become small, when i open internet explorer, the web site become small but the IE window stay on fullscreen, when i open safari, the web site become big. I played Sims 2 after ejecting the optical drive and its like if my mouse wheel was always scrolling back by itself. Like when you opened your Nintendo 64 while holding the joystic in a direction and it would make mario always run. It stays this way until I shutdown my notebook and open it again. I tried to open the optical drive with itunes and it does not trigger the problem.
    Before I call alienware support could someone help me with this problem :)
