Won't eject cd when installing program

Hi!,
 
I have a _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3450A
 
I'm trying to install a game with more than 1 cd. When it prompts for the 2nd cd, it refuses to eject the first one, either by pushing the button or going into windows explorer.
I have cancelled the installation, and it still won't release the cd unless I reboot!
 
Any ideas?
Many thanks!

    Hi Holly,

    It may be a simply driver issue or assicated with Sonic`s DLA program. Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 13-0, article 22.

    Happy Holidays!

    Thanks for the hints Predator!

    I will try them later when I get home from work; although I would be surprised if it was a driver issue, as the dvd writer was factory installed. I will let you know how it goes!

    Regards,

    Holly

    Thanks Holly, thanks Predator,
     
    This has at least given me somewhere to start.  I am having the same problem on my brand new machine.  Hopefully, armed with this information, I can sort it out tonight.
     
    Regards
