Windows Installer box keeps popping up.

Everytime I turn on my computor windows box install keeps popping up in the center of the screen.  I hit Cancel in the box and he goes and then immediately appears back, it's at least ten times before stopping.  Then, a few hours pass and it will do it again.  I'm not very computor savey, and I don't know what this means, but it's very frustrating!  If I hit ok in the box, it tells me that the progrem is on some discs for it please put disk and press ok, please help!

Hi Groceryman,

  • Windows Installer message box keeps popping up

    Get the windows installer message box stating that 'the component you are trying to use is on an unavailable network resource' when I click OK or cancel, another different with the installation package message box appears.  When I try to find the source of the user on the hard drive, I can not find the path.  Cannot install Windows Installer CleanUp because of these boxes.  He thinks that there are other facilities running and asks me to install these first.  Have SP2, run virus check, etc.  Help?

    Hello

    When you say that you can not install Windows Installer CleanUp, I just need to clarify. You mean the latest version - Msicuu2.exe? The link here...

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    If so, wow... interesting problem. You can even run the program because you have to many contradictory installers that he used to open them. I or someone of another HERE will tackle this problem if that's the case, but first - let us know if the latest tool Windows install cleanup has the same problem?

    Too... before I give it a shot... Make sure you have all the disabled virus scanners because they can also interfere with Setup and cause problems.

    Hope this helps,

    First check that your ISP has no problems with his server.  See if you can connect via webmail, if you have this ability.  Otherwise, go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties together correctly and the credentials it.  There is a problem when you get prompt that is not save information, so set correctly before you check mail.  If there are still questions, then find the interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and compact and repair the database where it is a problem (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

  • 'dial-up connection' dialog box keeps popping up

    When I use my computer (OS: Windows Vista Business) in offline mode, the dialog box 'dial-up connection' (asking me if I want to connect to the Internet) appears very frequently. It's super annoying!  Is there a way I can get it to stop happening in total (without affecting my ability, of course, Internet access by right clicking on the "Connect to a network" icon in the system tray)?

    Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

    gamartin

    From the internet options in Internet Explorer, open the connection menu and select "never establish a connection" instead of "dial each time that a connection is not present". This will stop the automatic dialers-messengers, but will always give you the ability to dial manually if necessary.
