Re: [GNC] No Disk error
Hi I had the exact same error message appear today also.. W7 with updates switched off so no changes overnight. No updates or changes to the software at all. Running GC 3.3. The error appears for me when I select custom options in reports and I discovered also it was caused by a load of empty SD drives on the system. I'd love to know how it just randomly started today. Anyway.. my solution was as listed in a link above using the reg modification. - Locate the following registry entry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL\MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows Select ErrorMode. Double-click on it to edit the value, change the value to 2 -- Would love to know what triggered GC to start looking at all available drives.

[Silly of me not to look beyond the gnucash archives.] I've summarized the 3 suggested solutions which I tried, and I also have a thought for consideration by the developers. First, I have a Dell XPS from 2010 that came with *4* memory card reader slots that I have never used (before today). It is running Windows 7. For every GnuCash 3.x (including a couple of recent 3.2 maintenance releases) I see the following. If I select "Import transactions from CSV...", I have to cancel 24 no disk pop-up windows (6 for each slot) to continue. This happens every time I try to import transactions. I don't want to be a whiner, but it quickly becomes annoying. Here's what I tried that worked. 1) Keep media in the drives. I scrounged through a box of old stuff and found a compact flash card. Inserting that into the reader eliminated the error for that slot. Woo-Hoo. Only 18 pop-ups to cancel. I presume if I fill all the slots, the errors will disappear entirely. 2) Disable each drive that causes a problem. I opened the Device Manager in the control panel. The item "Disk drives" lists all the drives on the machine including those for the memory cards. Disabling a drive eliminates the error for that drive. If I disable every memory card drive, all the pop-ups are eliminated. 3) Hack the registry. Go to the registry entry "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows" The default value of of the DWORD "ErrorMode" is "0". Change "ErrorMode" to "2". Pop-ups gone. The following link gives more explanation https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/124873/disabling-system-hard-error-message-dialog-boxes I pasted the following advice from that page.

The implication being one will have to make a visit to the previously unattended server to click on the pop-ups in the event of an error since the server will hang until they are cleared.

If I'm reading the documentation correctly (a big if), the state of ErrorMode can be controlled programmatically on a per process basis via the Windows API.

Re: [GNC] No Disk error
Were either of you at any time storing your GnuCash files on an SD card? If so, I’d suggest using a card to load the file, then doing a Save As elsewhere (with the card still in the drive). Then close and re-open GnuCash to load from the new location. THEN Safely Eject and remove the SD card. Otherwise, some sort of bug is at play.

Re: [GNC] No Disk error
I have the same issue on Windows 7 and GnuCash 3.2, and I believe its because I have several SD card readers on my machine and no cards installed in them. I haven't looked into a work around yet, but I agree its highly annoying. I figure I'll need to uninstall my SD card readers in order to stop the alerts. Anyone else have any thoughts?
