It's probably software for an all-in-one printer. HPs in particular are
prone to this. Don't keep canceling it; just put in your printer
installation CD, let the installer find what it is looking for, and the
problem will be over.

Perhaps letting it finish the install and then it will stop. Of course
with you having run a registry cleaner, who knows what registry keys are
missing now. Be prepared to do a repair install.
