*: qttask.exe error

[Tom]

When ever I start windows XP I get this error
6c8:qttask.exe no disk found, after I cancel it a few
times I get control of my desktop.

Any help would be great.
Thanks..
Tom

It's a Quicktime file. Anytime you have a card reader or
USB drive attached to your system and start Quicktime it
records those drives the next time you boot if they are no
longer present it will give you that error. Go to msconfig
and un-check "Quicktime Task" from your startup. Next time
you use the quicktime player it will put it back in. As
long as the drives remain the same it will not give you
that error.

Actually, this comes from the Quicktime updater, which you can control
from Quicktime's preferences. Open Quicktime and disable the updater
and you won't have this program appearing.
