My Drive A starts and lights up without a floppy disk inside it. I have been offered possible solutions to this, but none have addressed the problem. One of these was checking the Registry Editor HKEY_CURRENT _USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, Policies, Explorer, and altering the value of "NoDriveTypeAAutoRun." The value I have is 95 00 00 00, which seems to be correct. Another possibility I came across from reading the Archives here was looking at the Device Manager > Properties > Settings Tab> Options. These are shown as Disconnect, Auto Insert Notification, which can be either checked or unchecked. In mine these are grayed out and nothing can be done with them. A third possibility for causing the problem was that my antivirus program could be making drive A act up, but drive A has been acting up since before I got the antivirus program. Thus, all of the leads have come to a dead end.
If anyone has suggestions, I would be very grateful to hear from them.
Thanks.
ps. It's been suggested that whenever drive A acts up, I do the control>alt>del key combination to see which program/application is active. I have done this, but there's always a list of the various programs I've worked with/opened and I can't tell from here which one might be the culprit.
