my floppy drive or drive A always turns yellow... or it always read without a floppy diskette in it... what could have been the cause of it? please help, whenever i USE my computer it always reads without a diskette every 7 seconds, so it always pause for a while.. and because of that when i type sentences in microsoft word, the cursor always pause, it really irritates me, because it always interrupts what i am doing, i also irritated with the sound of it, is it because of a virus? but i have a pc-cillin anti virus, i scan all the hard drive just now, but it says no virus found, but my pc-cillin is not yet updated, i also found a suspicous folder in C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp, whenever i delete it, it will always show up especially when the floppy drive turns yellow again... please help, especially now.. because im doing some THESIS... and it is an information system... please.. help.. thank you.... c", Have you contacted your computer manufacturer? This SOUNDS like a POSSIBLE faulty floppy drive...

[glb]Flame[/glb]It's unlikely to be down to a hardware FAULT as Flame suggested but seeing as a floppy drive is about the cheapest bit of kit you can replace in a PC it's maybe worth a shot.

Anyway, some old, badly written viruses can cause UNWANTED floppy drive activity. Anything newer will never try to mess with drive A because no-one ever uses floppy disks anymore.

Which implies to me that you don't have any up-to-date virus protection installed. So either update the virus definitions on your copy of PC-Cillin or get AVG from www.grisoft.com, and keep it updated, for goodness sakes.
