Hello,

I upgraded from Ethereal 0.10.3 to 0.10.4 on my Win2k SP3 box. Now every
time I launch Ethereal, it pops up the following error message before the
GUI appears:

  The Ethereal Network Analyzer: ethereal.exe - No Disk
  There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive I:

I have to click cancel or continue (twice), and then the GUI appears and
runs fine.

That's my CDROM drive. If I insert a disc, the error message doesn't
appear. I can't find any obvious reference to an "I:" drive in my Ethereal
preferences. What's going wrong?
Did you load recently a capture file from your CDROM drive?
Then this file might be in the list of recent files.
A workaround might be to clear that list.
Menu: File -> Open Recent -> Clear

Regards,

Lars
