    Hello everyone,

    Whenever I am ejecting a DVD, my computer locks up from the time I press the 'Eject' button until the disk is done ejecting. Music starts skipping if its playing, you can't move the mouse, etc. etc.

    Its only a couple of seconds, but its a pain in the @ss either way.

    I saw there was a firmware upgrade on the Dell website, but I downloaded it and there was no installer. On a side note, how do I go about updating my firmware?

    Thanks,
    mattbond

    I did. Went through a couple pages of "Dell DVD" and it didn't come up. Links would be nice.
