After updating to the latest version 16.02.1026 I can no longer open and close the CD/DVD tray. How do I revert back to the older version without messing up my settings ?

Working now. But every time I open or close the tray I have to close a pop up error window that says sorry, unable to eject media on drive D:(8/87) or
sorry, unable to load media on drive D: (4/87)

The first time I clicked, I got the same basic error message (with different numbers in the parentheses), but clicking a second time worked with no error messages. I clicked it a few more times just to be sure.

So I tried exiting Workshelf and restarting it, still no error message. So I completely exited Winstep and restarted it. Still nothing. The only thing left is to reboot. Not gonna do that until at least Monday because I'm going to be out of town all weekend.

The numbers in parentheses are *crucial*. It's them that tell me where the function failed and why it failed.

87, for instance, means the function is returning ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER when issued a IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA or IOCTL_STORAGE_LOAD_MEDIA command.

No idea why though.

No, you cannot.

You can help me figure out what the possible problem is so I can fix it, though. :wink:

For instance, you can tell me if having media in the drive when you open and close the CD tray makes a difference or not.

An alternative to these problems with CD Tray is using NirCmd.

You make a shortcut of the main program (in the same folder or somewhere saved), plug in the modifiers in the properties of the shortcut, name the shortcut to your liking "Eject" for instance, customize the icon and put that in your tray.

I use this to control my volume for my system and muting. Though I haven't used a cd/dvd in years, this used to work just as well for that where needed.

Go to NirCmd Website
Windows: Ctrl Click to open in new tab.
Mac: Command Click to open in new tab.

Not pushing aside Jorge or anything. : - ) Just an alternative to relieve some of the pressure perhaps.

You can use it for a crap load of tasks. It's pretty nifty really.

Okay, we had a power outage and I don't have my UPS hooked up, so I got a reboot. The numbers in parentheses are 8/1816.

I clicked it a second time to close and git a 4/1816.
