On startup I get a message asking for Disk 1 to enable Windows to install
Photo Gallery. I never had any disk 1, never wanted Photo Gallery, and can't
stop the pop-up appearing. I was advised it might be to do with 'any premium
photo editing application' that I might have installed, so I have uninstalled
Adobe PhotoShop, but still get the pop-up. How can I get rid of this
annoying thing?
This should work; if not it'll be because the entry wasn't found:
Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type RUNONCE into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and if located,
delete any highlighted reference to Photo Gallery. Press F3 to continue
the search. In the left pane, you could lick the RUN key just above
Runonce and look there too. If you do this, press F3 twice, the first
will catch the Runonce where you previously stopped.
You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.
You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp
tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will
be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert
you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think
it's best to just remove the references from the registry.
