Report Offensive Follow Up For Removal

Someone here reported that Spy Wiper causes this. An updated Adaware and Spybot should fix it, if that is the cause of YOUR pc's problem.

Then it could be a failing CD-Rom drive or IDE cable problems. Cross talk on the cables (old 40 wire instead of 80 wire cables), bad IDE cables or one of the drives messing up the IDE bus could cause errors in commands that result in the drawer opening. Have seen weak power supplies cause noise that result in the CD drawer opening and closing.

Have also seen a number of drives with this problem when they start having read problems and do not recognize the format of the CD. They just suddenly open.

hello guys thx for the help :)

to dave :
