    I have a VGN-AR250G and when I press the eject button I get this message.
    windowsXP Media Edition.

    ----------------------------------------------
    "Cannot open tray of the optical drive. Please try again to eject the tray after close the all using software or after shutdown the system and then start windows.
    If none of this work then .......... use paperclip....."
    ----------------------------------------------

    I don't have anything that I can find using the drive.
    There is no conflict in the Device Mgr.
    It will let me eject the tray by right clicking on eject in My Computer.
    and I don't seem to have "Adaptec DirectCD Wizard" on my computer, I tried a search and couldn't find it.

    The drive will still auto-start a disk and can still be used but I have to manually open it or eject from "my computer".
    I also can't write to the drive.

    Suggestions??
    Thanks.
