'DAO' disk

[gordanfreeman]

after reinstalling windows the other day, windows continually trys to install something off the 'DAO' disk which is unavailable. when i hit browse, it appears to be looking for a *.msi file.

i have no idea what wants to install itself and no matter how many times i click 'cancel' it keeps trying to install. the window keeps popping up and is getting quite annoying. any idea on what it might be looking to install would be nice, and a way to stop it altogether would be fantastic.

I take it that you have no idea what the "DAO" disk is, right? Does this message pop up constantly or only after Windows has started?

correct, i have no idea what disk it is asking for or what program it is even in reference to. it pops up constantly, always right when windows starts and if i can get it to disapear it will reappear intermitently during my session.

I take you you have a CD burner..DAO disk = Disk at Once, its software for a cd burner...

Do you have an ATI video card and ATI Multimedia Center installed?

I had troubles with DAO (Data Access Objects) after installing the ATI's Multimedia Center. One of the packages in the Multimedia Center was DAO/MDAC. I uninstalled the ATI DAO and Multimedia Center and haven't had any issues.
