    Error that it cannot find a certain program


    I recently updated Windows 10 and I am not sure if that had anything to do with it or some kind of mystery magic happened. I went to click the shortcut for Steam that I have always had and it says it cannot find D;\program files x86\steam\steam.exe. I checked the drive and saw that the program was still there. I checked shortcut properties to make sure still pointing in right direction. I even deleted the shortcut and made a new one. I also tried to run the program by clicking on Steam.exe in it's own folder. I then checked for malware, then I ran a scan on disk looking for errors. I then ran DSIM and checked for errors. Everything was showing as fine. I put Steam on a different drive and it worked but since I wanted to keep all games on one drive I didn't want to keep it that way. I then reloaded windows keeping all files and such. Still cannot run steam from the D Drive. I decided one last thing to try was to change the drive letter to I and tried to run Steam. It worked fine now.

    What would cause the program to not run on just one drive. I did not check if any of the Steam programs would run from that drive before I formatted it and checked it again. The only way Steam runs is if it is on a different drive letter than D:

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    EVGA GTX 2xx series Reinbursement Service

    XFX started it and Evga is doing the same. Evga is starting its own reinbursement program for those who bought the Evga 2xx series when they first came out. All you have to do is follow a few steps.

    • Must be a new purchase from an authorized EVGA reseller. Step-ups do not qualify.
    • You have 14 days to register and upload a qualified invoice to claim your EVGA Bucks.
    • Only customers who purhased the EVGA GTX 280 or GTX 260 at the full Manufactured Suggested Reatil Price (MSRP) will qualify for the Reimbursement Program.
    • If between June 16th and July 7th you purchased an:
    • EVGA GTX 260 you will receive $75.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $60.00 Cash Back
    • EVGA GTX 280 you will receive $150.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $125.00 Cash Back
    The only thing this doesn't cover is the Step-up program. I'm fine with that because I got the price cut anyway. I just hope to get the card by this weekend if not early next week. I have a itch to bench. *Rockout :rockout:
