Windows Installer Looking For Microsoft Office XP Professional With Front Page

[douglasmorrow]

Hi,

I downloaded a virus while downloading music on limewire. I
subsequently the virus removed with Norton. However, this morning when
I tired to open Microsoft Excel, a windows installer screen popped up
instead and, after a few second, asked me to insert my Microsoft Office
XP Professional With Front Page disk (which I don't have).

I read one help thread that said I should logon as administrator in
safe mode and then open up Excel and say OK to any default messages
that come up. I tried that, but excel wouldn't open. at all.

Any thoughts??

This can often solve MS Office install problems
