Hi folks.
I'm having problems with my Anti Spyware programs..
avgas is returning a "No Disk" error and will not let me run it. the message reads "there is no disk in the drive.Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1"
how do I get around this?.
I've also had a similar message from Spybot recently but it will run


In need of help

Hey Ian ,



don't suppose you've got quicktime at all?,


for some strange reason, some people with the same problem, have it because of quicktime,


if so a possible solution is here ,

ps: I doubt it will solve it but it's worth a shot .

Bugsey.

it's installed but I don't use it...
I've had a read of that article but that's not shown a cure.
thanks though. i'll keep searching for the answer

i've run all the "prework" tools to see if that makes a difference but still getting "No Disk" messages...so now I'm after anything to try..

Ian

this is the answer to Quicktime.

Free-Codecs.com : QuickTime Alternative 1.80 : QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player.

QuickTime has been there all the time so I'm not sure that it has anything to do with the "No Disk" messages I'm getting with my Anti Spyware programs.

It is just these apps that you have issues with?? Or are you having say...boot issues/issues with other apps/sudden dropouts of programs, too?

Yessir that was off-topic, sorry. I just have had issues with that app since my first use of it. Very invasive & annoying in my opinion.
Which was why Bugsey's post did not surprise me.

Do you have a disc copy of your anti-spyware (it was avg?)-- or was it downloaded. Paid or free? Reason I ask is that the 1st thing I would do is try a fresh install of that app if possible.

If it is a paid version, be sure to get your license/registration number before uninstalling. You must have it to reinstall.

Even anti-spyware/antivirus apps can become corrupted... it really takes very little-- all there must be is a power-"flicker" at just the right moment, or an update file being corrupted on download. If it contains an update to the program itself-- it corrupts a critical file in the app itself and poof-- no good.
