Preparing to Install...

Every time I boot up my system, I get a message
saying "Preparing to Install. Please wait while Windows
configures MS Office XP Standard" I can cancel out of
this message and use my machine fine, but how do I stop
this from coming up all of the time? I have a feeling it
came on when I was downloading something and cancelled
the download during the middle of the process. Thanks!

Rather than canceling the message, it might be best let it complete. It
will probably prompt for you to insert your office CD to continue. This is
a hard problem to track down otherwise. I have seen it occur where the
Office tool bar was set to load at startup but had been damaged in some
fashion. Letting the Install run resolved it. If you are seeing this at
boot up, it may indicate something similar.
