weird floppy drive activity
« on: June 26, 2006, 04:37:53 PM »
whenever i get to the "log on" screen my computer acess's the floppy drive, even though there is nothing in it, this lags my computer like crazy, it also does this after i log in... i have no clue why, but i unplugged it because it would try to access the drive at random times after i log in, there is no spyware, adware, or viruses on my system, i am really confused as to what is causing it. its almost like its possesed :-/ ... i unplugged its power, and IDE cable to shut it up and stop the lagging
