I was trying to backup with Nero 6 and it quit responding. I used TaskMaster
to end the program but now I cannot get the cd rom drive to open. Any ideas
on what to do would be appreciated.
 
Try this...

Open My Computer | Right click your drive | Click Eject.

Then try this...

Straighten a paper clip, push the straight end into
the little (I mean small) hole on the front of the CD drive, there
will be a bit of resistance. Keep your hand out of the way. You
might consider doing this one with the computer turned OFF.

If you have a 3rd party CD burning program running, something like InCD or
similar, that program may take over the Eject function.

If that is the case, stop the program. Or right click that program's
notification icon (by your clock) and select Eject from that program's menu.

To eject a CD using Windows Media Player...
1. On the Play menu, click Eject.
2. If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, on the Play menu, point to Eject
and then click the drive from which you want to eject the CD.

Note
You can also use the Eject command to open and close your CD-ROM tray.
Click Eject once to open the tray and then click Eject again to close it.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
