After booting Win xp windows installer pops up against my wishes and starts to try doing something with Office. If I dont cancel it wants to do something with Front Page and then asks for Office Professional disc which I dont have.

Its getting a bit annoying

Does anyone know a way to disable it?

I'm sure its a simple fix once I know how

Thanks

    The only fix I know of involves getting hold of the disk
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Is this certain?
    Is there no other way?
