Have you tried rolling back to a date when it worked?

No I haven't yet, but do you happen to know if that program hey're tlking about ( correctreference ) will fix the problem, 'cuss to me it sounds like it only works if it "scans" new files and corrects them immediatly...

I have no idea if it will fix the problem. It's a great program (I have the Pro version, and wholeheartedly recommend it). But I'm not convinced that this is a reference problem. I'd be more inclined to think it's a device conflict or a registry issue.

But Ajax thinks it's a bad reference, and I would never bet against him!

Probably wouldn't hurt to download and run CorrectReference (there's a free version).

*This error has been showing up for numerous applications. Popular opinion has it that it's caused by QuickTime, but it's not. It's due to some weird problem with Zip drives and how Win2k and XP deal with them.

Say you have a system that has one or more hdd partitions, followed by a Zip drive in your logical drive map. Eg., C: (HDD), D: (Zip), E: (CDRom)

Now, you either add another drive or partition C: into a couple or three partitions. You end up with something like this:

C: (HDD part1) D: (ZIP) E: (HDD part2) F: (CDRom)

And at this point it's likely that this error message will begin showing up, depending on the standard windows controls that are used in an app.

Microsoft's official solution is to remove the Zip drive, reinstall the OS, then reinstall the Zip drive. Here's an easier solution to try first:

Change the Zip drive's logical drive letter to something later, like Z:.

C: (HDD part1) E: (HDD part2) F: (CDRom) Z: (Zip)*

That could be it, for me. I do have a Zip drive, and it's not the last drive. (Both my DVD drives have been forced to last, because I got tired of having the drive letters change every time I hooked up a Zip drive or new hard drive.)

I don't have a zip drive, but I do have a printer with a built in smartcard reader for printing photos. It seems to be causing me the same problem. So if you don't have a zipdrive, check on your smartcard readers too.

It's probably any removeable media. Maybe any removable media that hooks up via USB?

Anyway, I forced my Zip drive to be drive Z, and that seems to have fixed the problem. After years of putting up with that @#$% error message!
