Windows - No Disk

[jimdempseyatthecove]

On Windows Vista x64with VS 2005, IVF 10.1.014

Recently, at start of debug session I receive a pop-up titled

Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters
(hexparameters here)

If I Cancle or Continue the debug session starts as if nothing happened.

If I run the same execuitable image in a console window then the Pop-Up does not show and the execuitable runs.

If I launch the debug session with a Step Into (i.e. as if trying to debug C Runtime System initialization of application) the pop-up occures before first statement in C startup code.

Any hints as to what this is and how to turn it off?

This occured after I un-installed IVF and installed the 10.1.014. Prior to this installation I had only x64 installed. For this installation I installedboth x64 and x32 versions. Couldn't get the app to run when compiled for x32 (on x64 platform, compiles and runs ok on x32 platform but I would like to phase out the x32 platform). After un-installing both version of IVF and re-installing the x64 version the Warning - No Diskpop-up is still present.

My guess is that some other software you installed is causing this. A Google search yields many reports of this error message. Some discussions are:

Steve,

Thanks for the references. Not much help though. None relating to Debug under VS 2005

It would appear that Visual Studio and/or one of my projects and/or solution file is referencing a drive not present. Unfortunately the project files and solution file so not contain a "drive letter colon" referencing other than C:. However, the project and solution files are full of those "crappy" CLSID references. Cannot find squat with them.

The problem may have been introduced by copying project and solution files from one system to another (source system has files on D: target system has files on C:). The solution builds and the "No Disk" at Debug. Could be looking for (through some sort of path) symbol file (e.g. are symbols on D:..., then on C:...).

Would you happen to know where in VS such a path would be examined (probably under TOOLS | Optioins)

This is not a show stopper - just annoying.

Ah for the good old days of Borland Turbo C++ where you could simply drag the development root folder from one system to another and everything would just work.

In general I don't have problems moving projects from disk to disk. As a support engineer, I get LOTS of solution/project folders from customers where they use a variety of disks and I have not seen this particular error. That it shows up when you start under the debugger tells me that it is NOT a project/solution issue.

I am guessing that the issue has to do with a DLL that is loaded when you run a program under debug. Take a look at the list of the "no symbols loaded" messages that show up when you start under the debugger - some of them may be for other products you have installed that "hook" DLL activation.

You can always try Steve's old-time cure-all for what ails ya - boot into Safe Mode and see if the problem is still there. If not, then look carefully at what programs and services get started when the system boots, and selectively disable third-party startups until you find what makes the problem go away.

Hmm...

The problem misteriously went away???

Didn't uninstall/install any software.Not sure what happened. I did run REGEDIT but did not modify anything. And I exited and restarted Visual Studio.
