It seems to happen at the usual points for windows 2000pro, like just before the log in box appears. But sometimes after I copy a file off a floppy onto my machine, when i access the file on my machine it checks to see if a floppy disk is in there. No error messages come up though. Brendon	Guest (0)

Give it a disk, view it in explorer, move explorer focus away to another directory before closing. Probably other ways to fix it as well, but its only doing what it knows, to verify the fact that it had active files available there. It just doesn't know when to give up.	Guest (0)
