Ok i messed about with my sister in laws comp a while ago, and put my copy of office on her comp. But this meant she couldnt get all her old files open, so we put comp bk 24 hrs and took the office i put on, off her comp. ever sine then she gets this windows installer box appear, see attatchment. She is now getting sick and tired of this windows installer, as each time she puts her comp on it comes up with that, she clicks ok, and it takes forever, then finally lets her do stuff on the comp. This has been every day for a few months now, and shes really at the end of her teather, and wants me to sort it out seeing as its my fault!!

Can someone, anyone, please help me!!!

click start, run, type msconfig and press enter, now click on startup tab and look for the entry that you think is running and disable it. If you can't figure it out, no big deal, take a pic of your start up options. Post it unless you mind people seeing what is starting up on your PC. You can E-mail me and If you don't want to post it and I'll take a peak.

it was the office web content, if you remove office without removing the web content and office tools (yes they are seperate from the main office programs, blame microsoft) windows will constantly try to update office. Its a royal pain in the neck, but easily fixed by removing the assistant programs installed with office.

Nah, i dont use aggressive recruiting policies. And DxD, aol has nothing to do with it. Its a "bug" if you wanna call it that, in the office / windows programming. To remove the installer, simply remove the office web content and assistant programs, that easy.
