Each time I boot up, I get the message from NWIZ.EXE that
there is no disk in the drive. After about three cancels
the message goes away. What is "NWIZ.EXE"?

Hi Jerry,
You must have an NVIDIA graphics card with an updated driver.
The 'nwiz.exe' is a component of the updated NVIDIA card drivers.
(NVIDIA "nView" Control Panel).

If the startup error continues to be an annoyance, you can diasble it
using the MSCONFIG utility, usually this can be done without affecting
the performance of the NVIDIA Utility.

Info on using MSCONFIG to accomplish this task.

Hope this helps.

It amazes me how people would rather jump all over you and
send you all over the internet than give you a simple
answer. This is the Nview (Nvidia) Control Panel. You may
have enabled this on startup by clicking one of the
options in the Nvidia display setup. To stop this from
loading at startup go>start\run and type in msconfig and
then click ok. Now click the startup tab and then uncheck
the nwiz. While you are at it. Why not take a look at what
else loads at startup here and uncheck anything you don't
want to start when you boot your machine up. Keep smiling.

this isn't necessary for the operation of your system
