PBASIC 2.2x No Disk in Drive Error

M Bush

I just installed PBASIC 2.2.5 on my acer laptop running XP Pro SP2.· Whenver I start the program, I get an error message "There is no disk in the drive.· Please insert a disk into Drive E."· Now drive E is the DVD/CD and I have no memory sticks installed (which caused the problem for another person).· I can hit Cancel twice and everything is OK, but is there a way around the error message?

Thanks,

Mike

How did you install PBASIC 2.2.5 ?

Did you perhaps install it from the DVD/CD or try to load a file that was on a DVD/CD ?

Try loading a valid .bs2 file from another drive like "C:" , save it as a different name, and then exit PBASIC 2.2.5 ...does the problem still persist the next time you load PBASIC 2.2.5 ?

Does the problem persist if you restart your computer?

Thanks to both of you for responding.

The problem persisted whether I installed from the CD or a file on the desktop. HOWEVER, rebooting the computer seems to have cured it!

I approciate the help!
