Floppy runs continuously when Retrospect Express is open

No other problems with computer. TIA

The answer is most likely in Retrospect's Options. And/or check your scripts. It
starts seeking as soon as Retrospect is opened? Or only while it's backing up?

Floppy starts seeking as soon as Retrospect Express 6.5 is opened. I've
been round & round with dantz software on this one and they have been no
help.
TIA

Ron,

Sorry, I meant to get back to you sooner, but I got lost on the way.

First thing I think you should try is to delete all references to the A:\ drive
in the Registry using REGEDIT (StartRunREGEDIT). Go to Edit menu, Find, and
search only for Data and enter "a:\" (a-colon-backslash). Delete any Registry
values you find with data that starts with "a:\"

If that doesn't do it, then I'll load Retrospect to see what I can see. Oh, and
what happens if you put a blank floppy into the drive before opening Retrospect?

Removed all references to "a" as indicated - Didn't solve problem.
Floopy runs intermittently with a blank disk in drive - 3 seconds ON, 1
second OFF.
Disabled all of Find Fast - Didn't help.
Ran MRU Blaster - Didn't work.

I anyone has any more ideas they will be greatly appreciaated.
TIA

Have you tried completely removing Retrospect and then reinstalling? I have
assumed so, but it never hurts to ask.

I have tried uninstalling Retrospect Express 6.5 numerous times after trying
various options. So far it still causes the floppy drive to hunt with a big
"grunt" or just run intermittently when a blank disk is inserted . . .
