Quicktime Error No Disk
Error Posted by Richard on October 29, 2003 Every now and then when I am sitting at my Windows XP system, an annoying error message just pops up out of nowhere. The title bar is a seemingly random four-digit hexadecimal value followed by "qttask.exe - No Disk". The text of the message says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive XX:." At the bottom is the typical Cancel, Try Again, and Continue buttons. The most annoying thing is that none of the button choices do anything to actual remove the error. The error message cycles back and forth showing an error message first for drive XX:, then for drive YY:, back and forth, over and over, at least 16 times. Yes, that's right -- 16 times!! That's when I decided to do something about it. But before I destroyed it, I had to find out more about it. The qttask.exe program is a simple program that lets Apple's QuickTime software (often bundled with iTunes) show up in the Windows taskbar. To me, the taskbar only needs to store the system's volume control and be a place where I get a visual indication when I get mail. To hëll with everything else! You'll find solutions all over the ‘net that tell you (1) which registry entry to edit to stop qttask; (2) what option in the Control Panel to set; (3) to deselect the checkbox within the QuickTime software that says to display the control in the toolbar; (4) to remove and reinstall. None of that advice really matters or works. You think simply deselecting the checkbox will actually stop it from running in stealth mode?! Ha! Sooner or later, just like that bad apple MSN Messenger (that uses Microsoft's own questionable sticky tactics), qttask will also eventually pop back. The solution: Use the Task Manager to end the qttask process. Rename the qttask.exe file in your QuickTime directory to something else; you can even delete it as it is not used to play or view any QuickTime-associated data. Reboot. Simple! 64 Responses to "Fixing the Qttask.exe "No Disk" Error" « Older Comments "O" May 21st, 2004 My problem "Qttask" started 2 restarts ago (about 10 minutes) I searched "Qttask computer bug" online and this site/posting came up first on list.

QuickTimePlayer.exe - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR4." I press Cancel and the error message pops up again. Pressed "Try Again" and "Continue" and the message pops up. I can't get rid of the message unless I Alt+Ctrl+Delete and manually delete Quicktimeplayers from running. How would I be able to fix this and make QuickTimePlayer work again?
