Ah. Well, if it happens again, check your Download preferences.

Go to Tools then Options and go to the Downloads section. You're looking for the Download Folder section -- check there that it's not set to A:\

My computer doesn't ask me to insert something in the floppy disk drive anymore when I do try to download. I haven't changed any settings on my computer between the time I runned regedit and right now. I might as well answer your questions.


Which browser are you using? Have you recently patched/updated it?


I use Firefox version 1.0.5.7 quite often. I haven't updated anything in Firefox recently.


Does this happen with all downloads, or just one particular download?



It did it on all of my downloads.


Have you changed anything on your system recently that you can think of that may be affecting this?


Nope. I try not to mess with things on my computer that I'm not sure of what they can do.


Have you tried scanning for spyware?


Nope. I still need to find a program that can scan spyware and I should do that ASAP.


Does this happen in all browsers, or is it only happening in a particular browser?



It did only on Firefox. When I went to check a couple hours ago on Opera 9.00 and Internet Explorer 6 and they both worked fine without any problems. After I did that, I went back to Firefox to make sure one more time and I didn't have any problems downloading on Firefox either. I downloaded the picture in this post which is where I first discovered the problem and when I tried to download it again, I had no problems at all.


Out of curiosity, does anything weird happen when you try to browse discs with My Computer / Windows Explorer?


I never go there at all. I didn't even know it even existed because I never used it before.

Nope, I still get the same results even after restarting it.

Now what?

The default download folder might be set to the A: drive for some reason. Try this and see if it helps:
1. Click start, click run, type regedit
2. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
3. Change the "Download Directory" string value to something like "C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\Downloads"
4. Restart your computer and try downloading something.

Hope this helps.

So earlier today, when I tried to download something, a pop-up appears asking that I need to insert something in the floppy desk drive or the A:/ drive which is new. It started happening today and I want to know how to remove it from my Windows ME computer.

Also, when I use the Save Image option, my floppy desk drive starts to make an annoying noise and then my computer freezes. That's my other problem.

Anyone has any idea on what's causing this?
