DVD tray problems

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?

Do you have installed Norton 360??????
if so contact them, You may fix this through deleting certain registry keys Upper filter and lower filter in Registry...
Please take backup of your registry before doing the below steps.

In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
In the right pane, click UpperFilters.

Note You may also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You do not have to remove that entry. Click UpperFilters only. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you still might have to remove the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 8.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
In the right pane, click LowerFilters.

Note If you do not see the LowerFilters registry entry, unfortunately this content cannot help you any further. Go to the "Next Steps" section for information about how you can find more solutions or more help on the Microsoft Web site.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
Exit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

Thank you very much for your help - I do not have Norton only McAfee, I will try to follow your guides and I accept the fact it will be at my own risk. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks ArunG - I do not know how or what happened but the problem has sorted itself out. I had a look at your instructions but I started to get lost so I stopped. I am sorry for wasting your time but am pleased that there are good people in this site who are prepared to help regardless.

Many thanks.
