Multiple problems - registry???

1. I recently installed Suitcase for Windows (extensis.com) font manager.
For Suitcase to manage my numerous fonts, they must be removed from the
Windows font folder. I've removed all but the ones Windows needs to operate
to another file, but they keep coming back - not all of the fonts, but many
of them. I delete them and even empty the Recycle Bin, but later on, I look
at the Windows font folder, and there are the deleted ones again! I talked
to Extensis tech support, and was told this was a Windows problem.

2. Every time I open Outlook and click on anything (Inbox, new message,
etc.), the Windows Installer starts up to try to install Office 2003 (already
installed, of course) - very annoying b/c I can't do anything else until the
installer stops. The Windows Installer would also want to install Roxio
Creator 7 (already installed, of course) until I got fed up with that and
uninstalled that program.

3. Another program I use - Printing Pro Extreme - seems to uninstall
itself, b/c every time I click on it from its shortcut (it doesn't even
appear in the program list) the Windows Installer pops up again, eventually
asks for the program CD.

I use TrendMicro for virus protection and keep it updated. I use
SpyStopper, too. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Someone replied to my
question about Outlook, from that newsgroup, and suggested there was a
corrupt registry kety, but I'm leary of registry cleaners, per what I've read
in this newsgroup. Please help!
 
Here's something (else) I learned the hard way: If you remove fonts that
EMC 7 needs, EMC will try to re-install them. You'll see the 'preparing
to install' message box and hot da*n...the fonts are back. Not a
Windows problem - it's EMC that's doing it.
