Did you observe 11 requests for media?
No, and nothing appeared to be unrelated to my system. But then I’m on XP,
not Vista--Sean, if you can run Process Monitor:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processmonitor.mspx
and examine what files XEmacs tries to load on starting, then send us a list
of them, that would be really helpful.
If not, and you don't have an e: drive, maybe it would be
possible to
alias e: to a removable media device, remove the media, and see if you
can correlate accesses with Windows bitching.
I have an E: drive, and it’s empty right now.
(ISTR from the Win2k fiasco that if you don't have a drive at
all,
Windows won't complain. It's only for a drive with removable media, and
the file doesn't exist on that medium, that the complaint pops up.)
This suggests a possible workaround for Sean: rename the offending
device.
BTW, I gather that your opinion is that since help looks in DOC for
source file names, your patch has nothing to do with this? (Just to
confirm, since you're the expert.)
Unless some of the startup Lisp tries to find the C source of a function or
variable, I can’t see how it could.
