Found this solution, at the above link:

*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.)
