DVD Drive not showing empty.

[Quam256]

If I remove a game disk for instance from the DVD Drive it still shows as if it is still in there . If I put in a blank disk in the drive it will still show as if the game is still in the drive .
This happens on both drives,but has only started over the last month.I have updated the firmware on both drives and no difference.

What happens if you right click the drive and select Eject? Does this make Windows 'Catch Up'?

Have you disabled AutoRun? Try re-enabling it and rebooting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdrom

Here you can disable or enable automatically running your CD. Change the value of Autorun to 0 for disable and change the value to 1 for enable. At the end restart your computer for this change.

If this works but you don't want AutoRun enabled, disable it via GPEDIT.MSC (Start | Run)

Computer Configuration : Administrative Templates : System : Turn AutoPlay off

Note I just checked the Group Policy setting on Vista and it is:

Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | AutoPlay Policies
