Hi, I'm running Gaim 1.5 on Windows XP and whenever it starts up, I get an error dialog first:
"
---------------------------
gaim.exe - No Disk
---------------------------
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR7.
---------------------------
Cancel Try Again Continue
---------------------------
"
Gaim can run correctly after I click Cancel or Continue with no problems. Any way I can figure out how to get rid of the error message?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Update Gaim (and GTK+), uninstall any removable devices that use ejectable media, or simply load media into said device. I used to get this with a cheap USB SmartMedia card reader, but updates to Glib since Gaim 1.5 have fixed this.

For further clarification, here's the part about it in the Windows Gaim FAQ on the Windows page (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/index.php):
Why do I get a "No disk in drive" (or similar) message? - **This has been fixed in the GTK+ 2.10.6 installer.** There is a bug in one of the components of the GTK+ runtime (gettext). As a result, this component attempts to locate a configuration file on the I: drive. If you have an I: drive and it is a removable media drive such as a ZIP drive, CD/DVD-ROM drive, or flash card reader, you will see the an error message stating that there is no disk in the drive or asking you to insert a disk into the drive. If you can change your drive letters so that you have no I: (possible on Windows 2000 or XP), unplug the device if it is a USB device, or insert a disk or card into the drive before starting Gaim, this should silence the message. We hope to have a fixed GTK+ runtime soon. This error message can safely be ignored without any ill effects.

(edit) I think that if you want to use GTK 2.10.6, though, you'll need to be running the latest Gaim 2.0 betas. It's probably a better idea to use 2.0b5 over 1.5.0 anyway, however.
