Everytime I reboot my computer I get a box that opens everytime. It says
Windows Installer Preparing to Install. It also has a CANCEL button inside
the box. How do I rid of this. Thank you, Frank P.S. This is my first time in
this forum. I will leave my hotmail address if anyone wants to e-mail me
back. I am not sure if I could find this site again. All help is thankful.

Do you clear out your Temp folders when shutting down? It sounds like either that issue or something you installed using the Windows Installer technology is not happy. Let me tell you one thing that can upset it. Say you installed an application that uses this technology and it did something you did not like; like put an entry in your context menus. Removing that entry from the context menu can cause this behavior. My bet is on Microsoft Office. For that you could repair office and restore shortcuts.

Lastly back to the Temp folders. MSN Messenger will do this if you clear out the temp folders.
