    I've never used the Windows version of the compiler, but I've seen similar symptoms when software is trying to populate the Recent Files menu and one of the recent files was on a removable device that's not currently connected. Does the software let you clear the Recent Files menu?

    This can happen if you have a Flash Card Reader and no card is plugged into a slot which is assigned a drive letter.· This is because the built-in explorer tries to get volume information for the data on the drives, but there is no disk there.· You can simply cancel past it and you will be fine or diconnect the reader while programming.
