    Yesterday I installed IDM using my home broadband and got this error message box keep poping up.

    "cmd.exe no disk
    There is no disk in the drive. please insert adisk into drive\device\harddisk1\dr1 "
    and there are 3 button to click
    cancel/try again/continue

    when I click any of them it won't disappear. I have to keep click about 10 times toget rid of it. However after a minute, this error message will pop up again.

    I yesterday ignored it because I was in hurry. However Today when I turn the laptop on and insert internet dongle, this error box will pop up again. But if I disconnect the dongle, this error box will go. I will need to use internet so I will have to connect the dongle. I am note sure what is wrong with it. I tried to search on google for solution but it didnt succeed.

    Anyway, I used this dongle before for many times without any problem. The problem occurred after I downloaded and installed Internet download manager yesterday.

    Please please help. Thank you.

    added: my laptop is xps15

    if you are able to try running a system restore, to the latest restore point.
