Help...Win98 "Enter Microsoft Network Password" menu appears at start-up...DVD tray open by itself

As the title says...my DVD drive tray opens by itself when the PC boots up (newly build PC). It aways opens as soon as the "Enter Network Password" menu appears for Microsoft Networking. I thought that perhaps the PC's looking (maybe it's gots eyes hidden somewhere...haha) for a file to finish installing some networking component, but that's just a guess (i.e., the "prompt" to incert your "win98 system disk" does NOT come up).

My LAN (only 2 PCs with a D-Link Di-704 router/switch) seems to be working fine (i.e., cable modem internet is functioning on both PCs, file sharing is working, etc.) and the PC works fine in general. I don't believe it's a virus as the PC is so newly built.

The problem does not appear to be "physical" problem with the drive (I've swapped-out identical DVD drives and the same thing happens)

My stats are as follows:

OS: Win98SE (with all patches installed EXCEPT the security patches)
Mobo: Epox nForce2 8rda (non-plus) (original BIOS dated Nov 2002 and nVidia 2.0 Version Drivers EXCEPT for video folder)
Ethernet Card: Linksys LNE100TX (ver. 5.1)
DVD Drive: Liton LTD163 (can't seem to locate any driver/firmware updates for this drive)
HD: Maxtor 120 GB (2 Mb cache)
Video: GeForce 2 Ti200 (Visiontek)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
