Cannot open CD/DVD
Time to time I copy/burn pictures on a disc. I just tried to open a drive to see all the photos and cannot do so I checked the other disks and have found another. I run Windows 7. When I insert a disk and click on the D drive in Windows Explorer, it shows nothing on the disk, but when I go into properties, it shows that the drive used 0 bytes and 0 bytes free and yet the drive shows blue (full disc). When I insert the other disc and click on the D drive, it shows the same but in properties it shows 652 MB used 50.2 MB of space free. However, the disk on it shows mostly blue with roses. Any ideas?
Thanks Paris
Hello
· What applications do you use to burn the CD/DVD?
· What are the extension files for the photos you are trying to burn?
· Have you tried the CD/DVD running on another computer?
· Do you have any software installed on your third-party CD burning?
· You get the message that the fire was successful?
· Is - what the case with two discs alone or other drives also came with questions?
Try to choose the option explores and check what's happening and do a right-click on the CD player.

Cannot open the DVD drive to insert a CD or DVD
My DVD player won't open and a small rectangular orange light flashes when I press the Open button. I checked and the system says that the drive is functional. Anyone has any ideas how to fix?
Thank you.
The CD/DVD drive provides a small hole. Try using the thin wire and insert it into the hole. This should open the CD/DVD drive manually.

DSX HP 16 - cannot open the DVD player
Hi all
I have a brand new HP DSX 16 and I am now setting up Vista and everything.
I also bought a norton Internet Security 2009, so I was about to install it.
Here is my story:
1. I opened the box of Norton Internet Security 2009 to get the CD
2 - I press the eject button on my laptop DVD player = nothing happens
3 - I press the eject button which is above my keyboard. The mouse seems to be in the mode of "Hourglass" for 1 second and nothing happens
4. I reboot and install all updates
5. I searched google and this forum and found nothing
6. I tried to push with a PIN to manually open the drive and nothing works. It seems that I can't push something to open.
What should I do?
EDIT: OK, problem seems to be fixed. I pushed harder with the PIN to manually open the drive. I was afraid to break something first! Now the work of eject button...

I'm sorry but most of the posters, which I am part, who come here do not believe in using Tuneup Utilities, registry cleaners, etc. to improve performance or solve problems.
They are completely unnecessary.
