XP Startup

[Guest]

Using XP PRO. After completing startup - MsiInstaller collects information
and tries to configure a program called 'PhotoGallery' - it asks for disc 1
to complete the process. I don't have the program or want it but I go through
this process every time I boot up. All I can do is click cancel several times
to stop it. How do I kill this process once and for all.

Do 'msconfig' from Start > Run. Find this installation program and kill
it.

Another option is to run the windows installer clean up utility:
