My friend has a pc that has a CD rom tray that keeps opening/closing on its own. OS=W2Kpro
I ran trend virus and found no virus
I installed/ran spybot cleaned out known problems
cleaned out the .tmp files
restarted pc
we installed anther cd rom in its place and this is doing the same thing.
I can put a CD in the tray and it works and then the opening/clsoing stops.
Does this sound like a virus or what?
Thanks
Have you tried a different Molex/IDE cable?

No, but I will give that a try.
Thanks,
Check in device manager 'and' bios to be sure it's not being recognized as a hard drive.
Another possibility is a 'joke' program labeled as a coke ad that did this to use your cd tray as a drink holder. Does your friend have any wierd minded buddies by any chance?
I know I did find a virus that is called trojan.cdtray (on the symantec site) but I ran a virus scan and it shows no virus. I will check out the device manager.
Thank you,
Anti virus programs may/will not remove a trojan. I'd suggest you give this one a try: http://www.moosoft.com/
We put another CD rom in (replacing the old one) and now it's working fine.
Thank you for your help.
