Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] "no disk in drive d:"

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Responding to an email from last June regarding "no disk in drive D:" errors
coming from SDL/Tux Paint...

Someone commented on this with a potential work-around on Tux Paint's
bug tracker over at sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2494454&group_id=66938&atid=516295

  "Workaround: disable D: drive in Device Manager, run TuxPaint
  config, change something and save. TuxPaint runs fine. Then enable D:
  drive, TuxPaint runs fine too."
