Comment:

Having home built my computer, everything was fine for the first 2 months. Now, when I boot up, before the desktop loads I get a windows message with a red circle with a white X in the middle that say. "Windows-no disk, there is no disk in the drive, please insert a disk in the drive", then there is 3 buttons below that say "cancel, try again, ands continue". I alwys click the cancel button and everything loads fine. Why am I getting this error message and what can I do to make it go away, thank you.

Restart your computer. If you still get the error, post a new HijackThis log.

Do you have Quicktime installed?

This issue sometimes is result of quicktime. the fix is to clear any recent files in the quicktime program. or uninstallinit and reinstalling the program.

I just bought an HP Media Center and have not even run quicktime yet. I just started getting this message on day 2. Here is my log. Any suggestions on how to get Windows - No Disk to go away?
