Crossbrand - Windows 95 randomly searches the floppy disk drive
Applicable to: World-Wide
There are various programs or conditions which can be contributing to this behavior.
The following are possible solutions to this problem:
Clear the documents menu.
Clear unwanted entries from the Start Menu's Run Command.
Check for any viruses on your system (some users have reported the NEUVILLE virus)
Search your hard disk for all .PIF files that point to programs on a floppy drive
Remove the LocalLoadHigh=1 entry from your MSDOS.SYS file.
Some additional thoughts....
If you're using Norton Navigator '95:
Clear Norton Navigator's Run history (or disable the Run history all together).
If you're noticing this behavior with only a particular applications, you must clear the History List for that application.
Download the update from ftp.symantec.com.
