When I turn my computer on my CD drive open and the dish comes all the way out. I'm a firm believer in pushing the button to get it to go back in so I press the button and then it comes back out again. It won't let me push the button after that so I'm forced to push it shut. Well since I pushed it shut (which seems to be the only way to get it to close after it comes out the SECOND time) it won't load CDs. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You could have a virus, what kind of CD-Drive is it?

Also, how old is the drive?

I have the same problem and my computer now doesn't recognize the cd drive at all. I tried rebooting and got a strange message "microsoft updating system" before it would reboot. It took several tries after that before I could log on as my computer kept "freezing" on me. I have run my virus scanner and it didn't find a virus so I am lost as to what has happened. I also detected an electrical burning smell when all of this started.
