"There is no disk in the drive..."

from Stardock Forums
Hello

I´m a new user here.

I downloaded desktopX earlier today from donwload.com and I installed the program on an external drive due to storage reason on c:(primary).
The installtion went well but when I try to boot a new theme I just get the error message
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR3".
After some Googleing I figured that it had something to do with the fact that it was installed on a external drive.

So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it on C: but the problem remained.

All themes, and the installation are now located on C: but i still get the same eroor message.
The setup is still located on my external drive but I can't see a reason that it would matter.

Even though I uninstalled desktopX the "start" bar disappered and won´t show no matter what I do. And when i play VLC and sets it on "be on top of everything else" it still gets coverd when I open up a new window.

If you know what to do to solve this problem I would be more then happy too.

did you unload dtx prior to uninstalling?
which 'uninstalled' confuses me, since you said you installed it on 'c'.

If's it's installed and you're running a theme, some themes hide the bar

If you're not running a theme and didn't unload prior to uninstalling, you might want to reinstall, run that theme, unload, make sure your bar is back then uninstall

if it there, but gets covered by windows, then sometimes unchecking, applying, rechecking, applying (keep on top) wakes it back up.

the no disk in drive happens to me every so often, can't remember the cause or the cure ... I'll search

I'm leaning towards the info in the Other link. I don't use any flash drives.
It may depend on the theme and how it was set up. a lot of people set them for what works on their system when they create them.

If you have a builder option - don't know if the trial has it or not (right click systray icon) resaving might work - haven't had that issue in about a year, so I'm rusty.
