uninstalling live search cause install media requests.

[Rob]

I uninstalled windows live search and now every time I open up a folder or
my computer I get a install wizard asking me for my streets and trips cd.

Any clue how to fix this? I dont' have my live cd available as I've just
moved half of my stuff is in storage.

Well, thanks for the suggestions but non of those worked but considering the
symptons they described not really relevant either.
I'm not trying to uninstal or install anything. But for some reason since
removing ms desktop search whenever i open internet explorer (tabs even) or
any windows explorer window I'm prompted to install microsoft streets and
trips or microsoft money. Interesting that it's only microsoft products that
are screwin me up.

This happend to me at work once when I uninstalled ms map point demo. It
screwed up my streets and trips install and microsoft office there and the
only way to fix it was by uninstalling streets and trips and reinstalling ms
office. what a bs pain in the ass.
