This probably does not help, but I post it anyway:

Load beta 0505 and try these 3 scripts:
Code: Select all
floppybug "X:\", 1;
floppybug "X:\", 2;
floppybug "X:\", 3;
How many popups do you get with each?

floppybug "X:\", 1; = 0
floppybug "X:\", 2; = 1
floppybug "X:\", 3; = 0

Good news: I could reproduce it with an old card reader I found in some dusty drawer. Now the tB guys take over.

twinBASIC, the language the 64-bit version is written in. This is a language bug, not an XY bug.

Sounds correct. The 32 bit version does not make any popups.

Now the bad news: It's not fixable but some weird thing in Win7 and Win8. Win11 (and probably Win10) does not have the problem.

Here is an idea from AI (did not test):
5. Registry Fix (Disable Error Messages)
If the error persists and is just an annoyance, you can tell Windows to stop showing "No Disk" error pop-ups via the registry.
Type regedit in the start menu and run as administrator.
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
Locate ErrorMode on the right side.
Double-click it and change the value data to 2.
Reboot your computer.

I wiil try that tomorrow, I can't reboot the pc now.
But I find it strange that other 64 bit file managers do not have this problem. Try eg. Total Commander or Multi Commander or even the crappy Windows file explorer. Also, I don't see this popup at any other occation.

Yes, I find it strange, too. And the tB guys as well. It's a fascinating mystery at the moment.
