DVD tray keeps opening Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
My DVD tray keeps opening.  It will not stay closed more than 5-6 seconds unless the drive is in use.  I can still play DVDs, it will read any DVD like it should, the darn thing just will not stay closed.  When the drive has no disk in it, it pops open like it would if it were waiting for a disk.  Eventually, the tray itself is going to get snagged on someting and physically break off.. Any suggestions?
ThanksSystem Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

hi there,

  Your computer may be configured to look at the cd drive or dvd drive first. When this happens and there is no valid info for opening a os (windows) it tends to open up. This can be fixed by simply changing the order by which the computer looks for information to load the os (boot sequence). This can be done in the BIOS of the computer. Many comuters have diffrent ways in accessing it and it is recommended not to mess around with it if you dont know what you are doing.
 Your drivers may not be up-to-date. Try to download and install latest drivers.
 It can also be a hardware mechanic problem. You need to remove the drive, open the casing and clean the dust inside.

Thanks

I know this is an old post but maybe someone can get some use from it. 
All you need to do is update your dvd drivers and it will fix the problem.
Thats what I did. Took care of the problem.
