Is this machine fully updated with all critical security updates, including
Windows Installer 3.1, from Windows Update?

What happens if you go to Windows Update and check for updates?

If one is offered for Windows Defender, try installing it, and then go to
help, about, check for updates, and see if the error is resolved.

Hi Bill
Been to the update site and done a full scan with no updates to install,
even checked for any hidden updates, none there either. Still getting the
same message when I try to do an update.

Hi Bill
another problem i have founf is that when you do a full scan the defender
hangs asking for you to insert the floppy and no matter what you try the
error message will not go away, but if you place a blank floppy in the drive
then do a scan it goeas all the way through without problems.

Is this a Windows 2000 machine? I've seen this myself, and seen other
reports here--not always the floppy--sometimes a zip disk--but only on
Windows 2000. I don't have a fix or workaround other than what you did,
though.
