[comp.windows.ms] Empty drives

paulb@minster.york.ac.uk (11/23/90)

I've got a small problem with windows.  Whenever a program tries to
access an empty floppy drive, I get a dialog box telling me that the
drive isn't ready.  Whatever option I choose, the system locks up (like
completely - no three fingered salute or anything).

Any ideas anyone?

Paul

Thanks to all the kind people who told me that the problem with my
system locking up was due to an old version of screen peace.  Could
somone with a later version post it to the net?  I can't easily get
access to archives in the states, and the version at lancs.pdsoft has
the same problem.

Thanks,

Paul.
