No disk in drive error

Submitted by kaufman on February 4, 2006 - 3:44pm

I've just started using portableGaim today, and when i start it, i get a "Windows - No Disk" error window - "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive". clicking CONTINUE starts up GAIM with no apparent problems. I get the error whether I run it from my flash drive or from my local PC.

any ideas?

thanks!

It's GTK + card reader

This happens sometimes with GTK apps (like Gaim) and card readers that show up as drive letters but may not have a card in them (hence "no disk in the drive"). It doesn't happen on every computer. It can be a bit annoying, but it can be safely ignored.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Gotcha - thanks for the

Gotcha - thanks for the explanation! I can live with a little annoyingness in return for such a useful app.
