No Disk in Drive Error when Start Money

When I start Microsoft Money 2000 Version 8 I get an error message
that says
There is no disk in drive .....
Please insert disk

Retry Cancel Continue

Then if I choose continue it starts and runs fine..
The drive is the one used when I installed.
If I put ANY disk in that CD drive I do not get the message.


This is obviously a bug that should not happen. It is not needed and
should not ask.


What is the solution as I don't want to have to answer continue every
time or keep a CD in the drive.
I have already tried remove and reinstall with no change.

In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Money\8.0,
you probably have something such as "AVHelpPath"="E:\MONEY\avhelp"
or whatever. So the AVHelpPath probably refers to your CD drive.
If you are adept at editing the registry, you can change the
reference to refer to your hard drive rather than your CD drive.
If you are not adept at that, find a friend who is. The path need
not actually exist on the hard drive.

That did it. Thanks a lot. It is pretty rotten design that this
happens but I am glad I still have my agent reader and fast newsgroup
access on Charter. I wonder how it got set to that value on only one
machine but not to worry.
