No Disk message when I start PowerPoint

[Zach]

I have a user who whenever he starts PowerPoint gets the Window Dialog box:
"Windows - No Disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into
drive." If they click on cancel, it continues to the program and they can
work fine. I have tried updating all Windows and Office files. I tried a
repair install: didn’t correct it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS
Office into another directory and the message still appears. My current
work-around is to leave a blank disk in the A: drive and this does work, I
don't get the error message. However, I would like to correct this error and
have no idea of what my next step would be. The system in less than a year
old and is XP Pro. with SP2 loaded.

This issue does not occur when any other application is started, just
PowerPoint.

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

You might try putting the Office CD in the drive and see if indeed it is
trying to load a needed component.
