Windows Photo Gallery

[Merlin]

I recently installed the updated Windows Live, including Windows Photo
Gallery and how I wish I hadn't! Ever since the installation I keep getting
a box on the screen saying that the system is configuring Photo Gallery and
then that it can't find the file "Photo Gallery.msi" and asking me to locate
it. Well I don't have it and my PC (running XP Medai Centre) doesn't have it
and never needed it before I installed Windows Photo Gallery, so why doesn't
Windows have it.

I've uninstalled Windows Live and Windows Live Photo Gallery but I keep
getting the same messages on the screen. I've also run the Windows Installer
debug software, but that dowsn't help either. I've seen earlier
correspondence on similar subjects and reference to HP Printer software
causing the problem, but I don't have an HP printer, so that hasn't caused my
problem.

I don't need Windows Photo Gallery, I was very happy with Picasa, but I
can't use Picasa without these annoying Photo Gallery warning appearing.

Please can someone tell me how to get rid of this problem and Windows Photo
Gallery for ever?!!

See if you have a restore point that is older than the date you installed
Photo Gallery. I have a similar problem with Media Player 11. I get a
constant error message and rolling back to 10 will not cure it--a restore
does.

Tried that thanks, but no good.
