Quicktime exporting problems

Post by Avalanche941 »

I had made an animation in Moho, and exported it into quicktime. When I tried to view the animation with quicktime via icon on my computer, the computer went ballistic, and an error pop-up appeared, saying that I didn't have a disc in drive F. When I clicked the "X" in the corner, it disapeared for a split second, then popped up again, causing the computer to be stuck...

I don't understand why a disc in "drive F" has anything to do with Quicktime. Anybody know how to fix this problem?
"Good" thinks itself "good", but "evil" thinks itself "good" also. "Evil" thinks "good" is "evil", and vice versa. You think "good" is "good" simply because it is better for your welfare.

Seems to me you have either a virus or spyware on your system. This is not normal behavior. I saw something similar with another program here:

Everytime I run Ad-aware I get a error message saying: "Settings: Ad-aware.exe - No Disk".
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F."
One of the replies was:
Your computer has a number of spyware programs that we need to remove.
A program I remember that was good at preventing spyware infecting your computer was Spybot, Search & Destroy. However, it seems that some spyware doesn't let itself be removed by Spybot S&D and you need to use a spyware removal program, specifically for that spyware.

Something similar applies to viruses. Try to use some online virus scanners to check if your system is infected and if so, by which virus(es):
F-Secure
Trend Micro’s Housecall
Panda’s ActiveScan

You can do a Google search for that virus to find the removal program. Different anti-virus companies use different names for the same virus, so you might also stick to a possible cure that the online scan service provides (I don't know if they provide such a cure).

Mind you, I collected this info by Googling, because being on a Mac, I have no experience with spyware or viruses (lucky me :D )
