Righto my bad , is that why the drive resets the speed then? Bequiet just tells the firmware to slow down then it closes itself? And if you open the drive then the firmware resets itself and be quiet is no longer there to reset the speed?
The author of CDBQ said that some drives are designed that way and that it cannot be worked around, other than by running the program again whenever the tray is opened.
I've noticed the same behavior with Nero Drive Speed under Win9x, so it does seem to be a hardware/firmware issue. Doesn't really bother me much since games rarely ask you to change disks, other than during installation.
