I used to have the same problem, it happens after you enter you're info, I think. Clear you're cookies like Tyler said should fix the problem.

ok, while this topic is up, im having a prolbem too. when i start my comp it tries to install microsoft office with frontpage, this is also when i open any of the programs that i have already installed from this software. so i have the software installed, and when i try to launch it tries to install again, when i click cansel, the program launches and runs like normal. how do i get this to stop?

First thing I'd do is check for adware

also get registry cleaner from

www.download.com

Try running MSCONFIG from "Run" on the menu and see what's in your startup. See if anything like "setup.exe" is listed, because that's strange...

A little off topic... but I heard they made the first step in punishment toward junk mail/spyware? Anybody know more about this?

it doesnt happen when i startup, it happens when i open somtin that was installed already by that. ex i install word, then open word, it tries to install again, i click cansel, word opens.

Wow, yeah, reinstall your OS, you got a problem than probably isn't worth diagnosing... ;)

[AaronG]

will that clear my HD cause i have alot of stuff on here that would be real hard to get again

AaronG.
1) Make sure that you did the full install of office (chose to install everything on the HDD).
2) We run into this problem at work. It has to do with installing Office under one profile then trying to use it under another. Get out your CD's, copy the data1 file onto the HDD. Then point to it when the computer asks.

Oh, one more thing. This isn't directed at you AaronG, but not everything that happens to your computer is a virus or spyware. There's these things called "User deficientcy errors" or "One D Ten T errors". Listening to people and downloading registry cleaners for example.

I use Microsoft's RegClean. When Roxio 5.0 came out, RegClean used to delete the registry files for 5.0. After the 2nd time I finally figured out what was going on, and found a way around the issue. Point is, know what you are doing before you do it, and don't install anything on your computer because someone says it "might" help.
