DVD Drive Acting Crazy?

I came home from school today, and as usual, I turned on my laptop PC. Once it was on, the DVD tray was popped out. I saw it and pushed it back in, but after less than ten seconds, the tray popped itself out again. I tried to close it and I did, but again it opens in about ten seconds. It’s a cycle. I really want to stop this. Please help!

Will it be o.k. the next time I turn on my computer, or there’s actions I should take? Anything is highly appreciated and ten points will go to the best answers as well as a “thumbs up” to all those who answer.

By the way, I went to Control Panel and opened the Device Manager to check my DVD drive status and it said that it was working correctly. I usually know how to fix computer stuff but have never come across a problem such as this one.

how do i upgrade my cd-rom drive to a dvd-rom drive?

i want to play a game that needs a dvdrom 16x

i have a cdrom with at least 8x i think

how do i upgrade from a dvd to cd for my computer
where could i go to have this done (ie geek squad?)

also how much would it cost?
i checked, it is a 48x speed
also is a dvd rom just able to read more off a cd that a cd rom
how would i supplement the cd drive? and is the dvd player thing different than a dvd player for the tv

Need help playing DVD’s on my PC?

Hi! I’ve recently just bought a USB External CD/DVD drive for my netbook because it doesn’t have an internal one. The first time I tried to put a DVD on however it says “Windows Media Player cannot play this disk because you do not have a decoder” - or something like that. So my question is…what is a decoder and how do I buy one for cheap/download one for free.

Thank in advance…
