When I log in (only as myself, other logins don't seem to have this problem) I get an error message:

Windows - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive .
Cancel/Try Again/Continue

Note the space before the full stop in "Please insert a disk into drive ." which seems to suggest that it doesn't even know what drive it wants a disk in.

Any ideas which of the following is causing this?

Don't post HijackThis logs here. There are specialty forums for that.

Apologies, I found this group via google group search for hijackthis and there isn't an obvious FAQ on group nettiquette - I guess I needed the meta-faq. I could have posted *without* the log, I thought I was providing some helpful information. A bit more googling revealed that hjt logs are obviously a bit of a bugbear round here, so once again, my apologies, I shall take the problem to an appropriate forum.

No problem Guy. There are several reasons we redirect folks elsewhere. Firstly this is not a malware removal forum although many folks do post here with that type of problem, and we try to help out with links to sites about malware removal. Best to go to where the experts are. With respect to HijackThis, it's a specially area so it's even more important to go to a place were those experts are. It takes skill and training to properly interpret HJT logs so you need to go to the best locations. Lastly this group is about the XP OS, and though malware affects it's workings it's not an XP OS issue per se. We would be inundated with HJT logs if that were the case making this newsgroup unworkable. Thanks for understanding.

Actually, I don't think this is a malware issue, I'm guessing that it's a hangover from some aborted install process or something like that, maybe one of my children's Scooby Doo games or something. I shall keep searching.
