I presume drive D is a CD drive of some sort? What drives do you have in this machine?

Disk info

3 1/2 FLOPPY  [A:]

LOCAL DRIVE  [C:]

DVD [D:]

DVD RW [E:]

Removable Disk E,F,G,H,I

T he [a;] is external to a usb

I'm sure the [D:] is the dvd rom & the [E:] is the DVD-/+ RW DRIVE

Every thing seams to be working but the ERROR message may mean I did some thing wrong. I certenly do not want to screw up the system by ignoring it

Have you recently removed any spyware using Ad-Aware? There is a known problem removing certain spyware, as described here.

 Idon't know much obout spy ware or add aware - When i got this e510 the sales guy sold me Mcafee "sp" for a bundle of $'s  The e510 was new 1/15-06 . Anyway the thing didn't work properly out of the box . I did everything to contact DELL for help - even though i paid for all kind of help options MIGHT AS WELL TRY TO GET HELP FROM THE POPE !! I took the e510 to my internet provider & they straightened it all out  Removed the Macafee stuff & installed some thing else AVG ? i think. Ihave not run any special add aware removal programs .  Every thing worked great until  a few days ago & still works except for the ERROR message

I did look at the site you suggested It all looks pretty CONFUSING to me. If I can't get it straightenrd out I GUESS I'll just have to bite the bullet & take it to some one who  knows

 So much for all that so called  24/7 in home  3rd party service

Thanks for your help
