GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 168480
Annoying error message when program starts up
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:48:43 UTC
Please describe the problem: An Error message that says in the title bar: gimp-2.2.exe - No Disk. the messages says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive I:." Steps to reproduce: 1.Install GIMP 2.2.3 and gtk+-2.4.14 2.Run GIMP 3. Actual results: An Error message that says in the title bar: gimp-2.2.exe - No Disk. the messages says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive I:." The message box will give three option buttons: Cancel, Try Again, Continue. Clicking either Cancel or Continue twice will allow GIMP to finish loading and run normally. Clicking on try again will cause the message to pop up indefinatly. Expected results: I would expect GIMP to load normally and not give me any boxes like that. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I recieved the same message with another application that uses gtk runtime enviroment, only after GIMP is installed. This is what leaded me to believe that the problem is being caused by GIMP. My system specs are: AMD Athlon 1.2ghz, 398mb RAM, nVidia FX 5200 vidcard, dvd+rw and cd-rw drives, 20gb harddrive, 80gb harddrive. OS is Windows XP Pro w/ SP2. Thank you for developing free software.
This is a duplicate, but there might be an interesting fact in this report, which I recall to have seen in similiar ones... The drive letter in the error is I: - and I know that some paths in the pkg-config files for GTK+ point to I: in Tor's builds. I've also seen at least one other error report with an I: drive (also a lot others with the internal device name, though). This might be a red herring, but also might be an important clue...
Updating to gtk+ 2.6 (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk+-2.6.2-setup.zip) fixes this problem, doesn't it?
uh, no it did not.
