Windows Installer problems

It's driving me nuts! Any time I open an IE6 browser, or Outlook Express or any Windows
related thing the Windows Installer box pops up for a couple seconds then disappears.
How can I fix this problem without totally wiping the system and reinstalling XP??

Click Start, Run and type eventvwr.msc
Select Application entry in the left pane
In the right-pane, look for the Error entry denoted by a Red X

Sort by date and track-down the entry based on what time the error exactly
occurred. Locate and double-click the entry and you'll see more information
in the resulting dialog. Click the copy button at the top and copy the whole
event and paste it to a Notepad document and save it. Post the information
here.
