So I'm trying to install a new game I got, and the eject button for my CD ROM on my computer won't work because it broke. So can someone tell me how to force it open, or fix it?

Is it a laptop or desktop?

if its broken, try going on another computer and drag the files onto a USB then install it from there.

Take a paper clip and straighten out one of the bends. Then stick it in the small hole you'll see on your disc drive. When you push it in far enough, you'll hear a sound and the drive will manually eject.

Its a Vista, so there is no hole in the disc drive. Desktop. Can someone tell me where you can find the CD ROM icon on a Vista? I'm trying to do what ShiroNoYami suggested.
