Hi, everyone. Hoping someone might have an idea and solution.
I recently upgraded my Crossover Office to v 4.2. Have been using Crossover since v 3.0 and upgraded each new issue.
Version 4.2 seems to work fine. But since the upgrade **every** time I open a Word, Powerpoint, or Excel file my floppy drive light comes on and the drive searches for media (which is not there).
I am assuming this is not a damaging problem for my computer (other than extra wear and tear on the floppy drive).
But I'm really wondering why it's happening, and if it's indicative of other, more serious problems that I should look into.
Thoughts?
(By the way, I no longer have the ability to post on the Crossover list serv).
I'm guessing you have an entry in your recent document list that was on the floppy. Perhaps you can clear that list , or open a number of different documents sufficient to push it off the bottom of the list.
Heck, the (real) Win XP box I'm forced to use at work regularly does a thrash-every-drive behavior when viewing directories that contain things "important" to windows. It looks to me to be things like backgrounds, and files on the most-recently-used list. It's windows, so it's a feature, not a bug, right? ;-)
