    "Windows - No Disk"

    After installing my wireless adapter card I continue to get this pop up that has the title "Windows - No Disk" and says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E:. with buttons to Cancel, Try Again or Continue". I've tried uninstalling my wireless adapter which made it go away but when I reinstalled it again it started appearing again. Right now the only thing that gets it to go away is to leave my setup cd for the adapter in the E: drive. Any ideas on how I can get this to go away?

    What is the make and model of the card?

    Did you install the software on the CD?

    It is a D-Link DWA-552 and I ran the installer that was on the disk.

    Download this tool:

    See if the D-Link software is listed. If so remove it.

    Try start Run... msconfig | Startup

    Only the wireless conection manager is listed and that's used to connect to the access point. So if I disable that then I lose my wireless connection.

    It stops it from starting automatically.

    Out of curiosity I would disable it and see if the CD notice goes away.

    You can start the manager manually and you can also go back and re-enable it to start automatically.

    Just trying to trace the source of the CD glitch.

    I've spent some time figuring out what causes it and took some screenshots of the error messages.

    I seem to be getting the error when I log off while have something downloading which then causes



    and if I try putting in disk that is not the adapter setup disk I get the following



    and if I put in the adapter setup disk and click on the continue button instead of the try again button I get the following

    Don't know why D-Link has anything to do with DemoShield.

    Have you tried starting without the "connection manager"?

    Such programs are not necessarily required for a connection.

    "I log off while have something downloading"

    Why would you do that?
