Windows 10: Your cd/dvd-rom may not be ready yet

Yeah- but I didn't want to leave without thanking everyone for the advice and help. Quick responses and good advice all around. Thanks folks!

 

Do come back and tell us how you got on. We're intrigued now...

 

Since you asked: I spent about half an hour with tech support today and their final call was to factory reset the machine and reload all my software. Our internet here is circa 1995 so I may just have to put up with that error message for the time being. That's a lot less hassle than closing an error message window that doesn't seem to matter.

 

Again- One thing more you can do is to rt click on loading.exe, Properties, Details.

And- assuming the message occurs after you log on - have you ever tried a clean boot as I suggested way back?

 

Well, we know a lot more about what is starting now - loading.exe which is in the temp\instv2load folder, is classed as InstAllv2Load and came from Asus. What we want to know now is what's starting it. There a utility from the Sysyinternals suite that can help - Autoruns.

When we know what is starting this and where the sources are located we could (preferably) sort out what files it's looking for and point it at them (it appears to be looking for them on the CD drive at present), or at a minimum stop it from starting. It may also be possible (once we know what exactly it is) to download a manual install package from Asus.

 

Exactly- If the message does not occur after a clean boot, we know it can be blocked by disabling a start-up, for example. (Probably not what I'd do personally, but this makes it simple).

 

Hi, thanks you all for the info in this thread I had the same problem but with a different Asus motherboard, the B250M-Plus. As with OP, the CD/DVD-rom drive works just fine, but the error message will not stop being display on log in. Well it turns out that instv2load.exe / Loading.exe is ASUS generic driver installer package and it gets called from windows task scheduler every time a user logs in. I haven't been able to fully resolve the CD-DVD driver install/update issue with the program itself, but at least I was able to deactivate the pop-up. So, I've installed the drivers manually and then deactivated the launch of the instv2load / loading.exe program in the task scheduler. No problem since then. I'm leaving this here hoping it might help someone else in the future.

 

Hey guys, why don't you just delete everything in Windows/Temp directory, or you can delete only this exe file. Worked for me ^^
