When opening certain applications (My Computer,Trash bin,windows update,messinger etc...) Windows installer opens "preparing to install". I press cancel and A promt appears (Windows Installer in the title bar) stating "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available Insert the 'Microsoft Money 2003' disk and click OK. Below it says "Use features from: (In a tabbed box) Works Suite Money CD or DVD. It cycles two times (Clicking close and cancel on each respective box) and then my original selected application opens. I do not have Microsoft Money 2003 on disk. It is however installed in my system as an .EXE. My remove/add apprications program will not remove the Micosoft Money 2003 program from my system (says it needs the CD-ROM to do that). When checking the properties of the applications the target / path looks correct. Please help! Idon't know where else to look or how to correct this problem. It is very annoying. I hate to think I have to reformat to correct this issue.
