Random Appearance of Drive Q

Ahhh. That would be it then.
I have office 2010 beta installed. This is mainly because I'm cheap to buy Office 2007 but hey hoe.
Thanks for the advice everybody and keep up the good work.

Glad that, at least, you know the cause.

Yeah it took me a while to figure out when mine "showed up" too, it's the beta.



Glad to see you found a solution.

Oh and one final question. I am upgrading my hard drive next week, so I will be reinstalling Windows Seven and also Office. Do all versions of Office 2010 beta (Including the Business one with Publisher) cause this problem?

As far as I know, yes. It is not a problem, it is the way that office installs on the hard drive.

Hello osholt.


As far as I know they do, it may be only for the "Click to Run" part of it.

So perhaps if I backup it up and just copy it onto my new hard drive there will be no drive Q?

I don't think that will work for the "Click to Run" versions as they aren't actually "installed" to your HDD.

Thanks anyway and keep up the great work.
