I keep getting this error at random times, most of the time when I run Winamp. I've already tried changing drive letters but it hasn't worked. Here's the error:

Windows - No Disk

Exception Processing Message c0000013Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c

Any options are: Cancel, Try Again, and Continue.

Please help this is really annoying!

And I haven't gotten a virus infection because I reinstalled my PC.

I really need help with this!

Try having a look here:

Hope yours is as easy to fix.

Just out of interest Ice, I dunno what version of Winamp you have, but I went back to Version 5.35, because the version that followed caused a lot of problems on my PC.

Oops, I acidentally posted the same topic two times! I just tried clearing recent documents, I don't know if it's worked yet. Actually, the only times I've gotten the error since reinstalling the computer is from WinAmp. I also have version 5.531 (x86)

No worries, maybe a kindly mod can combine the two threads.

Winamp 5.53 was the version that didn't sit comfortably on my PC. I hadn't used Winamp in some time, so missed a couple of versions, and updated to 5.53.

Of course that was my pc, and it may not be the problem on yours, but if you can't fix the problem, trying a previous version may be worth a try. As mentioned above, I'm sticking with Version 5.35.

Winamp All Versions: (File Hippo)

At first your fix worked Dennis. But now it's back again. And it only happens in Winamp when my PC makes these sounds. The first is like Tee-Dum and then it does Ta-De. It's so annoying. Please help!

P.S. There is also a new Winamp out. Winamp 5.4 or something. Should I get that?

Hi Ice, sorry to hear the bad news. Have a look at this link about something in your startup possibly causing the problem.

http://forums.computeractive.co.uk/thread....threadID=107976

Have a look at what's in your startup. For example Quicktime. You could post a screenshot from CCleaner tools/startup, there may a few things you don't need.

Ice, if you have any USB devices connected, the problem could be there.

Have a read here:

Reminds me of CoolEdit2000's "bells" they watermarked into their trial versions. Then again, have you checked for tinnitus or a middle ear problem?

It does sound like the computer is loosing then re-recognizing a usb device...

Tee-Dum = device unpluged/lost
Ta-De = device found

Do you have a usb hard drive / flash stick with your music on it?
If you can check in 'my computer' when you here a Tee-Dum and make sure all your drives are still there.

I heared these sound a lot with faulty usb mice or other usb devices.

This is unrelated but I've "found" supposed non-existing CD drives just by looking for them in Device Manager. I'd only 'look' at them, their driver, etc. And then in a few hours the PC would recognize the drive, by itself, with no tinkering on my part. This has happened to me twice on 2 separate PCs.

Firery, that was a real good spot. The Tee-Dum etc didn't click with me at all, but as soon as I read your post, I recognized the sound.

Nice one.

When the only USB type things connected to my PC is my Wireless Linksys internet USB. By the way, the sounds disappeared suddenly, and I don't know what happened. I think they'll come back soon though. I also have all these Removable Drives in My Computer, but when I double click on them it says Please insert a Drive into Drive W etc.

It also might be a printer connection type problem. Sometimes my Lexmark Imaging Studio icon at the corner of my screen (near the clock) gets a teeny little red X on it. I'm not sure if the sounds come only if the red x comes up at the corner of the Lexmark icon, because I didn't think of them that much.

Thanks for all your help so far guys!

I also have a USB mouse, but I don't think this is the problem.

I like USBDeview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

Be careful not to un-install your USB mouse as its a real pain to reboot without it.

I bet!

Thanks for the utility YoKenny, but to uninstall, I have to know what the problem is. So first I have to try to narrow the problem down.

OK Ice, how you doing? Are you still getting the Tee-Dum Ta-De sounds? Or have things put themselves right?

I kinda don't know. I haven't had the sounds for a while now, but who knows. It might come back.

The sounds are back again. But they only happen when my Lexmark Imaging Studio icon gets a teeny red x at the corner of it. It's the connection thing from the Lexmark printer to my computer. I think that is why im getting the No Disk error. If only I knew how to fix it.

Hi Ice, does your Lexmark have a parallel port connection or USB?

If it's USB, have you actually tried just sticking it in another USB port to see if the fault carries to a different port?

If it's a parallel connection, have you tried just simply disconnecting it from both the PC and the printer and then connecting it again. Making sure you have a good solid connection. Switched off of course.

If the problem reappears in another USB port, then it's probably a problem somewhere between the printer cable and the printer, and not on the PC. If it's a parallel connection, then you'll likely only have one port and won't be able to do a change of port comparison.

You could always take your cable to some friendly PC shop and ask them if they could check it for you. For free of course. Could just be something as simple as a loose pin.

Process of elimination is all I can think of at the moment.

I'm kinda not sure if it's parallel or USB, but I'm pretty sure it's not a USB because I have this box type AC Adapter connecting from the Printer to my PC I think, and this other small USB type thing connecting from the Printer to somewhere (but the USB type thing is not rectangular like a usual USB connecting thing. Its round). Grr the sounds are back again. Ahh this is so annoying! I can't watch or listen to any live thing in Winamp without getting the error.

I hope this isn't a problem with my PC.

That's the power supply connector.

The USB cable usually is about 1/2 inch wide that plugs into the PC USB port. The round end plugs into the USB device.

Please read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

Ok. So should I find the USB end of the printer cable that connects to my PC, unplug it, and then re plug it back into the PC?

A good place to star Ice, is with everything switched off, find the cable (sounds like you have a lot) and unplug both ends. Plug the cable firmly back into the printer, and if possible plug the USB end into a different USB port, if you have one.

If that doesn't get rid of the connected/disconnected sound, then it may be a software problem.

I'm not entirely sure if a software problem can cause the PC to think the printer isn't connected, but my son tells me he had a similar problem some time ago. He kept getting a "connection" error with his printer, and the problem went away after uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer drivers.

Might have been coincidence, but unless one of the guys comes up with some other fix, then it may be worth a try. Assuming you still have the Printer software.

Ok I'll try that later, because I don't have time right now. By the way, the sounds disappeared for a while, right after I updated Winamp. I'm pretty sure they'll come back though.

Ok unplugged and replugged the printer stuff, the teeny red x seems to be appearing less, but when it does appear, i still get the error message.

I also looked for drivers for my Lexmark 4300 Series, and I found 1 in the Lexmark website and its: cjb4300EN.exe

Should I download that and install it?

Hi Ice, I thought you may have the original installation CD that came with your printer. I'm not sure I should be recommending you installing a driver downloaded form the web, unless you are 100% sure it is the driver for your printer.

Can I make another suggestion. If you don't use your printer very often, disconnect it for a while, or for as long as you can do without it, and see if the problem disappears altogether.

I think it's wise to make absolutely certain that it is your printer causing the connect/disconnect sounds you are hearing before doing anything else.

Sorry I can't be more positive than that, but if you don't have the original software for your printer, I'd rather err on the side of caution, than have you do something unnecessary, that may just give you more problems.

I actually don't use my printer often so I'll try that.

It seems like the printer is the problem because right after I took out the stuff connecting from my PC to the Printer, the sounds and the error messages disappeared. One more thing Dennis: I had this error message problem with Winamp and my printer before I reinstalled my PC.

OK Ice, but to be sure, leave your printer disconnected unless you really need it, maybe for at least a few days.

If everything runs fine for that length of time, then we can be more certain that it is to do with the printer.

After that, we can decide the next best thing. Maybe pick a few brains.

Ok, I can leave my printer disconnected for a few days.

This sound for me, is one of terror. It happens when I bump into my tower and my broken wireless card falls .002µ downwards, knocking out my internet.

I guess that you are glad you don't live in an earthquake prone area.

Ok sounds like you need some advice on the different peripherals that is used with computers. I'll post some pictures that I have found off google to give ya a first hand look at what these ports look like. Not to worry I have only posted the ones that would relate to your printer and possibly your problem.

USB comes in many forms now. Here are the most common forms, USB A, USB B, Mini USB.



The first picture here shows both USB A and B together. B is on top which is the most common we see today and this is usually the end that connects to the computer. The bottom is A which is used to connect to peripherals such as printers.




This next picture depicts the Mini USB which is on the right of the USB B connector. You can tell how it got its name. Now these are commonly used with cellphones, digital cameras, and other small devices. (I know i said i wouldn't stray but USB can be confusing so I wanted to show all the most common today). With that said there is another called Micro USB which I will not post a picture for its just an even smaller version of USB which is used primarily on cell phones and is still pretty new.




Now when you were asked if your printer used parallel they are meaning a Bi-Directional Port which was also widely referred to as the "Printer Port" as it was commonly used for back in the day. As you can see from the picture these connectors greatly differs from the USB connections. This port is rarely used anymore as USB has taken over the spot light but does not mean they ruled parallel bi-directional ports out completely. (Connector on top connects to the printer and the one on the bottom connects to the port on the back of the computer.)

Now you lost me when you stated there is a round plug. The only round plug to your printer I could think of would be the AC adapter which would connect to a wall outlet as a source of power. The only other round plug that i can think of for a computer is known as a PS/2 port which is pictured below. These are common for both Keyboard and Mouse peripherals.






Also something to think about is you said you have a wireless usb adapter connected correct? These use bandwith of the usb hub. Motherboards now a days have more than one hub. Usually each hub is coupled with 2 ports. So if you have your wireless adapter hooked into one lets say and you hook in a device into the port right next to it then you may cause a conflict in hardware if that other device requires adequate bandwith. This is because again the Wireless adapter is hogging all the bandwith and the other device would be fighting for its share (and most likely losing the battle) causing it to give errors. If you have another another set of usb ports on the back (newer mother board have 4 ports on the back or even usbs on the front of the computer case) then try hooking your printer (if usb that is) into another port away from the Wireless adapter. This may solve your problem with the usb detection sounds you are hearing. For the fact of Winamp. Unless you are listening to music off a usb drive (which could be the problem there if so) then it must be a software issue within winamp.

*quick edit* As I see that I didn't make it to the very last reply on this to notice the problem was with the printer. If you don't have the official CD of your printer and you do feel its a driver issue then do not fret! You said its a Lexmark. Write down the model of your Lexmark Printer and go to lexmark's website. They will carry the drivers you need and they'll probably be updated compared to the ones on the CD. Only trust the driver if its for the exact model and in any case as long as its from the company's website that made the device.

Thanks for the whole report Jedgell! I'm not sure yet what's causing the problem though, which is why I'm asking for everyone's advice.

Ok Dennis, when I had the printer disconnected for a few days, everything went fine. When I connected it back in, the sounds came back again.

By the way, the USB connecting from my PC to my Printer is a USB Type A.

So I think we can definitely say it's your printer.

The next step is thinking of something that won't make things worse. I can't remember you saying whether or not you tried the printer in another USB port.

Did you do that?

Um no not yet. The thing is, I can't find which is the cable that connects from my PC to the printer. There's so many!

EDIT: Wait...! I think I found which cable connects from the PC to the Printer. Should I turn off my computer, unplug it, and then connect it to another USB port?

I don't know about USB printer connections, so to be safe yep, switch off and stick it in another port and see what happens. You don't have to do it now of course, whenever it's convenient.

If it makes that noise straight away, we'll find the next step. If not, leave it in there again for a few days, and hopefully it may now work just fine.

Whatever the outcome, it will narrow things down even more, which is good.

Ok, Dennis. I don't have the time right now, but I'll try to do it some time over the next few days. I'll post in this topic again after I've done so, and with the results.

OMG Dennis! I think the problem has been solved! I haven't had the sounds and the error messages in 3 days, after I changed the USB port. I'll post back here if the problem comes back. THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELP! Especially Dennis.

Your welcome Ice, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

What version of Windows is causing the issue? I only ask because on my old Win98 system the speakers which were USB would only work in one USB port an not any other, so perhaps a Win98 bug.

I'd try to see if other USB devices also won't work in that port the printer had issues with.

If it's a newer OS I'd try a different USB cable, and if that still didn't fix the issue I'd replace the USB hardware connection in the PC. If it's neither of those at least they can be returned for a refund.

I'm using Windows XP right now, because I don't feel like getting Vista. I really don't want to have to waste time going around fixing hardware problems. I hope this problem is fixed right now. If it isn't...
