Microsoft XP Professional Installer pop-up

[frankyk]

I have a dell laptop that has XP Professional, everytime I load up Outlook or Word, the XP Professional installer thing pops up that asks me to pop in the CD to install some crap or something.

I hit cancel, and the program works fine, but I'm just trying to figure out, how the hell to get rid of the dialog box that keeps asking me to update or install something. I can get rid of it when I hit cancel but I don't want it to ever pop up again.

I tried the help --> detect and repair thing but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you have a corrupt or missing file. Have you tried putting the CD in when it ask for it? When I have problems with Word/Office I un-install it and do a fresh install. That almost always takes care of it. Do you have the CD for Office? If so, give it a try!

It would be quite helpful for you to tell us what it's asking for.
