looking for disk in drive A

K

Kira

In the last month (after numerous upgrades and
installations of other software) I've started getting an
error message with regards to opening outlook AND starting
a new function => "There is no disk in the drive. Please
insert disk into drive A:." When I click "continue" it
works anyway.
Other than reinstalling Outlook I'm not sure WHY it's
looking for any disk nor how to solve the issue.
Anyone?????????

Just a thought:

Are there any ADD-INS that are trying to load that
may be looking for the A: drive?

A macro gone awry? ( press <Alt> + <F11>)

If that doesn't do the trick try:

Look for the "Inbox Repair Tool" (scanpst) in
Start | Programs | Accessories |System Tools

Specify the personal folder file (.pst) or offline folder file
(.ost) that you want to scan. This tool will attempt to fix
a corrupted PST.

If you don't find it there, just perform a find on your hard drive
for "SCANPST.*". (Be sure to check for HIDDEN files also.)
Click on your Windows desktop
Press the <F3> key
Look for: scanpst.*
This will bring up both the executable and
the Helpfile that accompanies it.

Have you tried using the "Detect and Repair" option on
the HELP menu?

If this doesn't do the trick, I would suggest for you to
try opening Outlook using the ".../CleanProfile" switch.
This cleans all profile information in the registry.

Use the link below for detailed information on
how to use Command-Line Switches in outlook
depending on which version of Outlook you are using.
