My computer's doing something really funky today. My CD tray has been ejecting itself by itself for no apparent reason.

the first time it ever did this is when I uninstalled something called MathPlayer, then it started ejecting, and so i restored my computer to an earlier date. that worked, but now it's doing it again and this time i didn't do anything.

help? it would be pretty hard to play games when it does that.

lmao
you might have a backdoor trojan, the kind that lets other people control your computer

[Bobboau]

yeah, does it happen every 25 minutes

Wow, that's almost as freaky as the metallic *do-doink-dooo*...*do-doink-dooo* that my old computer makes when it gets tempromental on me...in that situation, when i got angry with it, i just gave it a hard clunk on to top of the tower, try it, you'll find that the simplest solution is often the most personally gratifying...

i know what a backdoor trojan is, i got one used on me once.

a just did a full system scan. no backdoor trojans.

I remember my old computer used to eject random burnt cds after spinning them up realy fast. The cd would litteraly hover out of the tray and fly across the room.

That's a great mental image.

CD trays can be weapons.

EDIT:  Or it could be for halloween:

*hey whats that noise*
--cd zips by--
*oh thats just a flying saw blade*

Guess I should of taken Tribes/2 a little more seriously.

I nearly fell of my chair!

now it stopped.

of course, it might have only happened when i was playing my games, i don't know for sure since i never thought about it. I shall be back in 30 minutes with an update.

Awesome! It's like the new age Power Mac. <_<

Somebody killed it.  Congratulations, it's dead.

i'll say.

anyway, looks like the problem has passed for now. it'll probably come up again in about 4 months.
