i constantly get a popup say there is no disk in drive please put disk in drive. h

[micalj Luckless]

the game is on my harddrive.  backround.  i used to play for years on an xp operating system.  this started when i bought a  new computer with windows 7.  when it pops up i have to click on continue. or cancel to move on.  i have so far tried clean reinstalls first clearing the caches.  my computer manufacturer..dell says it is a problem with second life not the computer.

Your computer is confused on what it is. You said you saved it to your hard drive. What do you mean by that and maybe I can assist you.

Welcome to Second Life Answers, micalj.

I haven't heard of this issue, with regard to Second Life before. However, I have a Dell computer also, but running with Windows Vista, and I have issues with my DVD driver frequently.  When I get the "there is no disk in drive" message, it usually happens after a Windows Update has caused some kind of conflict in my system.

Silly question here, but are you actually trying to save something to a disk?

Keep this thread up to date please.

Is it possible that you have more than one hard drive in your computer?  The normal path that any viewer follows is a path on C: drive.  If you changed that to, say driver D: (or whatever drive you second drive is designated) the program should pick up the change.........it sounds as if it did not.  Or maybe you installed SL on some removable media (like a memory stick).........that must be in your computer for the viewer to work.

I had an issue on my Mac a while back where I got an error message because I installed the viewer from another user account than the one I use when logging in to SL. Could it be a similar issue in this case? Perhaps some issue with user access level (admin or regular user rights)? (I'm not a windows user, so I'm just guessing...)
