I think it has something to do with how the card is formatted. I used to get that message whenever I inserted my 2GB SD card into my IPAQ, but since I started using a different card I don't get the message any more. The new card came unformatted so I formatted it in my computer.

You could try formatting the card to see if that takes care of it.

This is just a "feature" of WMP apparently. To avoid it, make sure WMP is properly shut down. (A soft reset will close everything.)

I got the message even when WMP was closed. I used to think it was a "feature" with WM5.0, but I don't get the message at all with the card I formatted.

go to: start>settings>system tab>memory>running programs tab. Tap on Windows Media and tap the stop button. that should close wmp and keep the message away.
