On my home PC running XP Pro, WISPTIS.EXE seems to have an annoying
habit of (sooner or later) ending up in my tasklist even though it's
in no startup location.
I tried renaming the EXE file. It certainly stopped it running, but
with an odd side effect: when editing a new email in Outlook 2003
(using Word 2003 as the email editor) if I try to paste text from
another application into the email message body, outlook insists on
launching the office install which displays a CLSID and error message
and fails, but then re-launches itself (repeatedly) and needs to be
cancelled about four times before the text I was originally trying to
paste into my email finally appears! There is an accompanying entry in
the event log saying the installer failed because WISPTIS couldn't be
started.
So I unfurled the white flag and renamed the WISPTIS.EXE back, which
solves the problem.
So people, my question is; is there any way to 'legitimately' prevent
bloody wisptis loading? Or would that be a bad idea?
