If so, try putting a CD in the drive :). What seems to happens to us (we have our repository on D:/cvs also) are some cvs client operations form paths to repository files and try to open them, on the client side. On my work machine I moved the CD to E:, leaving D: unmapped. Converting the server to use the repository prefix will fix these messages too. HTH John Goehringer
