When ejecting CD, always get "a request was made to eject CD..." - howto stop?
On a Win-98 system, I don't know exactly when this started to happen,
or why, but every time I manually eject a CD I get a dialog box telling me something like "a request was received to eject a disk that is in use" with 2 buttons (eject and cancel). Is there a setting or a reg entry somewhere that can over-ride this dialog box such that it does not appear and hence the drive will eject the disk when I want it to? |

I think you should concentrate on 'a disk that is in use'. Apparently you have some software running which has a file open on the CD. Maybe 'Process Explorer' http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx can tell you which program this is. Goto Find-Find handle or dll, give a substring (D:\ when your CD is D) press find. Process Explorer should give you a list of all open files on the CD, and the program(s) which owns the handles. However, I'm not sure if this find works on W9x. |

It was a simple file-copy operation (from CD to hard drive). CD is powered down (no longer spinning) and explorer window showing the CD contents was closed. So you tell me what was still using the CD. |

So you tell me what was still using the CD. A very handy tool which keeps an eye on all your drives to warn you when the disk is full? A virus? ...? I hope Process Explorer can tell you. |

Was that a multimedia (most likely -- *.avi) file, that had been copied? -- Mikhail Zhilin MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.
