I keep getting a windows installer popup window whenever I open ANY program. It says that �The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the disk and click OK. There is nothing listed in �Use Source�. I can�t tie it to anything I have done recently. I have Windows XP SP2.
View 1 RepliesThe first thing is I keep getting a 'Windows Installer' box popping up which says 'preparing to install' when I check my Hotmail emails. This problem began after I had a windows update which turned out to be an upgrade to Service Pack 3, last week. As soon as I've clicked cancel on the Windows Installer box, I get an alert from ZoneAlarm saying Windows Messenger is requesting to access the internet.
The first time it happened I just let the installer do what it was trying to as I thought the service pack upgrade had made changes to some settings. But then it happened again as soon as I opened the next email (I only open emails from people who I know like my close friends or family by the way). So I'm presuming there's a problem somewhere?
I have to suffer with a dial-up connection for the next 4-5 months while my ISP makes improvements, While I have it working I am plagued by the connection window that keeps popping up uninvited.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys, my problem is what I thought was fairly straight forward. I recently bought an Officejet 6500. I loaded the disc to install drivers and the window is in Portuguese!I checked my regional language settings and it is in English. I even tried other discs to see whether that was the problem, it wasn't. This is the second disc I have received from HP and am unable to use the equipment due to this. I am running XP.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension E510 running Windows XP Professional. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office 2003. I don't want this program so I uninstalled it using the Add/Remove Programs. Once I did that, Microsoft Money wouldn't work and I was getting an error message everytime I started the computer - an error about missing a DLL. To correct this, I ran System Restore, which put back MS Office 2003, but the MS Money was now working and the DLL error message went away. The problem now....every time I open a new window, open a program or click on a new email message the Windows Installer window pops up with the message "preparing to install". If I click cancel, it takes a few seconds to cancel and everything is ok, or if I leave it alone, it hovers for about 20 or 30 seconds and goes away. It's extremely annoying.

When i open any link with "open in new window" the new window is not full size screen window.Of course i dragged it by mouse many times and that should fix it later.It means it should be opened as it had been dragged,but that's never happened though i dragged it about a hundred time as a full screen size.What is the wrong here?

In the old Windows 2000, the Google page remains opened on the same window overlapping the myWin.doc window and no new window is opened.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have WinXP Media Center, am using yahoo DSL internet at a rate of 1.5 mbps, and use firefox as my default browser. In the past few days, I've noticed that every once and a while AOL will start and ask for me to put in my password when I didn't start it or ask for it to start. It usually happens when I open a webpage, like every 5 pages I open AOL will pop up randomly. I'm not subscribed to their service, it came with the computer. When I close it after it pops up I can't open a webpage in firefox and need to close and re-start a firefox browser for me to open a webpage again.

Same thing happens with both my laptop and destop, but not with my wife's laptop. Did some research and others were saying to disable other usb devices on the usb bus, I went in the Device manager section and did that, plus killed some processes to no avail. Even disabled all wireless cards, etc..

I'm having lots of troubles with USB 2.0 support. My mother board is a ASUS P5GD2 Premium, which only has USB 2.0 ports but my Windows XP SP2 keeps popping up this error! I have some drivers, but they don't install because XP SP2 should already support USB 2.0. Maybe the cables that connect the USB ports are the problem.
