I've been noticing a problem with the disk drive on my 1040 ST.

When it's been on for a little while, the drive light comes on, and stays on. 

I dont hear a spinning, the light just comes on.  If I access the drive, the
light will go off when it is done, and sometimes it comes back on, other times
it doesn't.  The drive has had problems recognizing a media change for a long
time now, but I usually just change the right protect status of the disk, and
it reads teh new disk.

One other thing, when I boot, after it loads all of the auto programs, the
desktop appears, but it remains white for a few seconds before it turns green. 
This didn't use to happen before.  It used to go to green right away.

Auto programs:
AHDI		PLAY
BEEP            SKULL
CLICK           STARTGEM   (RUNNING NEODESK)
FATSPEED        SUPERBT
FOLDR100        UISII
OATBRAN         VACCINE
WATCHER

Accessories:
MOUSEKA
NEOQUEUE
TURBOST
CALLUIS

Any suggestions would be appreciated....
Thanx!
