Outlook Seeks Floopy Drive on Startup

[Guest]

I have been using Outlook 2003 for 2 years. Recently, when I launch the
program, I have started geeting the error message "There is no disk in
drive. Please insert a disk into drive.". Outllok is looking for a file on
A:. I have to cancel out of the error message 3 times before I can access
Outlook.

Did you recently import any .pst file items from a floppy?

Milly,

I recently exported my pst files to a floppy to back them up, but I have not
imported from a floppy.

Thanks,

Jim

That could explain it, but it's a rare PST indeed that can fit on a
diskette. By the way, never export to a PST. If you want a backup of it,
just copy it with Outlook closed.
