help me please! it seems that every time i load up windows, and also
when i load up certain apps, I get a message saying "Cannot read from
drive G", and i have to press the stupid Cancel button.  My CD-ROM's
connected to drive D, and the only time that i don't get this message is
when i have a (non-audio) CD in the drive, which makes a little sense.
what doesn't make since, though, is why it's searching for something in
the drive in the first place.  It never searches the floppies for
anything, so why search the CDROM drive? i thought it had something to
do with a LASTDRIVE statement in my config.sys, but that wasn't it.
please, for my sanity, tell me how (if possible) to stop this annoying
message from popping up on my screen! it's almost as annoying as those
silly screens that's telling me to register my shareware! :)

thanx in advance,
