pop-up pentium 12/30/2008 6:50:00 AM Hi. I have WinXP pro SP2 and I have a pop-up every 10 seconds saying: "My Documents.exe - No Disk" "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:" and it gives you 3 buttons: "cancel, try again and continue". I pressed all 3 and it still keeps popping up every 10 seconds. How can I get rid of it? I've ran an anti-virus software and enabled my pop-up blocker to no avail. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TIA!

RE: pop-up Dave M 12/30/2008 7:43:00 AM Assuming the A-disk is a floppy drive that's seldom used, you could try removing the A-drive from your BIOS drive specifications, re-enabling it whenever the drive is occasionally needed. Perhaps an easier though less sophisticated fix is to insert a blank floppy into A and leave it in there permanently. -- Regards, Dave "pentium" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi.
