weird issue with tp and windows7

[miltk]

up until now i've been using wXP. i have also started using w7pro, and i get this issue....

windows7 pro

when i double click tp, i get a "drive c:\ does not have a volume label which,,,,,please enter a new label for the disk". in the entry field there is "DRIVE_C" already entered. when i click "okay", i get a [5088/144]unable to write disk label to drive c:.:     the directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory.

when i click "cancel" i get a "[7243] TP requires unique, non-blank volume labels on disks to differentiate drives. unpredictable results may occur if you don't label your disks. do you want to try to run any?  i click "yes" and TP runs normally. all this to say after i cancel out, tp runs just fine anyway.

what should i do? i never had this issue with wXP.
when i look at the c-drive in tp's left panel, it says c: <#6a13f60f>...in tp on my wXP it says c:

as far as i can see everything works fine except for this stupid error message

> what should i do?

I'd try this:

[*] Exit ThumbsPlus
[*] Open Explorer ('My Computer') and browse to the top level. When you see drive C:, right-click on it and choose Rename (or choose Properties and rename the drive there).
[*] Launch ThumbsPlus and see if the drive shows up with the new name and without that prompt about volume labels.

yeah but i'm worried about screwing everything ELSE up.
as it is, tp DOES work after i cancel all those annoying messages.

and as i mention in the op, the renaming entry field already says "DRIVE_C", but when i click okay it gives me the error message....
