It's a brand new computer system, haven't had Norton antivirus installed because it's win xp 64 bit and it wasn't compatible. So, do I need to leave a CD in all the time or does anyone have an idea here. Just as a side note, the first time (and only time) I went to the windows update site, only chose the critical updates, my system blue screened and crashed and I had to go back to the last known working config to get the system up and running again. Uninstalled all the updates. However this problem was here prior to that. Just an FYI. I am having this problem if I use the DVD and get this error the immediately upon removing the media.

I think the problem is with Vista and not so-called problem programs. Here is why: Any access (testing for a disk loaded) to a drive with no media inserted will cause this problem. I have tried dozens of ways to get around this in my programs (until Vista, perfectly acceptable). It's never been a problem with XP or any other OS. The only solution to date is to always have a cd in the drive. That will work only if you don't use your dvd drive. Thanks for your site.
