Word insists I put a disc in drive A.
I keep being told Watson has a problem loading. They cannot find watson.msi.
Plus it keeps insisting I put a disc in drive A. Which means when I reboot I have to eject the disc then put it back in every time I wish to use word. |

Word insists I put a disc in drive A.
Hi John,
The prompt to insert a disk in Drive A is probably occurring because at some stage you edited a document on a floppy disk in that drive (bad idea), then closed Word. Consequently, Word is trying to access the drive again. If you open a document from your hard drive (C:?), then close Word, that should fix the problem. Unless you've somehow configured Word to look for templates or put autosave files onto Drive A:. In which case you can correct this by changing the paths under Tools|Options.

I quite possibly may have done what you suggest. However after looking at the
save options in Tools/options in word I only have the C drive listed as a place to keep my files. I only used the A drive for copying files onto a disc so I could print them at the library when my printer was not working. I have had some basic computing training, but I am still learning on the hoof as it were and hopefully learning by my mistakes. Thenk You.

Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org john4708 wrote: I quite possibly may have done what you suggest.
