Windows-No Disk

Hi.When i open certain applications,a small window "Windows-No Disk" pops up.The choices are:Cancel,Try Again,Continue.But whichever i click,I can't get rid of the window,and most of the time it prevents me from using the actual application that i opened.I tried using the Windows Task Manager but most of the time it won't close.The strange thing is,this window has nothing to do with the applications that i open,so why does it open and how do you get rid of it.
I tried to use the "System File Checker" (SFC/scannow) in case there is a window file which i accidentally deleted,which might be causing this,but windows states it can't find it.What could have happened to the System File Checker and does anybody know how to get it back.......Any help appreciated Frank

You've also got a ton of unnecessary background stuff running, but that's about it for the HJT log.

What do you having running at startup (check your startup folder and start-> run -> msconfig [enter])?

hi,this must be the most bizarre error message to date.I did the things you told me to do,but didn't help.I am a suscriber to "Smart Computing Mag",and was glad when at the tech support section of the mag,somebody had written for the same error i'm getting "Windows-No Disk".They suggested to do a complete "clean boot" which i did,but that didn't help.They also said to try a different antivirus software,that didn't help.Lastly they suspected a malware infection.I ran RemoveIT Pro XT-SE, a-squared Startcenter and these programs found no spyware or malware.I also have Spywareblaster running.I managed to run Spybot-Search & Destroy,but it took a long time since the "Windows-No Disk" error kept on intruding in the program but found nothing.There was no way to run Ad-aware SE Personal as the error prevented me from using the program.I am not convinced that it is malware,so who knows what it is? Anyway thanks just the same for trying to help me out.........Frank

List all of your connected drives (HDD's, Floppy, CD / DVD, Zip, etc.), particularly removable drives... and their corresponding / assigned drive letters. In addition try running Spybot S&D from Safe Mode.

The correct command is sfc /scannow (notice the space between sfc and the forward slash) from either the Run box or the command prompt.

sfc /scannow

Thanks for the tip.I wasn't putting a space after the "c". Frank
