Are you all going crazy? The user wants to play Cars, the DVD is inserted but the application is asking for the DVD. Why are you all trying to help the user *eject* the DVD?!

Is the inserted DVD still mounted? Check by going to apps/utilities/disk utility. If the dvd is not mounted it will appear gray in the list, or won't appear at all. Hit mount or restart and hold the mouse button down to eject the disc. Does your program work at this point? If it asks for the disc to be reinserted then you can do so after this restart.

Hey Doc, did you ever get this to work? I have to same issue. I installed Cars, applied the patch to make it a universal binary and when I to launch the app it asks for the play disk.

I own the DVD version of the s/w, as I recall, the CD version comes with two disks, an install disk and a play disk.

Thanks.

Eddy.
