i had a problem here. my windows installer for ms office keep popping up. hw do i stop it? its irritating me :(
Couldn't understand your problem. It's unclear
"Keep popping UP" like popcorn? Ha! Ha!
got picture? maybe can understand better.
That one happens when you open up any Office apps right? If not, then something's wrong with your system.
office 07 or office 03?
let me guess. the office software is trying to install some component automatically. when that happen it will prompt for CD or DVD. it is very irritating. no matter what you still need the CD or DVD.
get your office cd and let it install whatever it is trying to install and it will solve the problem.
When you open, Windows Installer keeps prompting?
If so, try the following:
1. Open Task Manager
2. Start > Run and enter in excel /safe
3. When Excel starts, kill all processes named msiexec.exe. If msiexec.exe restarts again, kill it.
4. When all msiexec.exe are gone, close Excel.
5. Open Excel.
6. Retry Step 5 with all other Office programs.
You should no longer see the Windows Installer prompt, however, you may be prompted to re-enter some personal details (only one-time annoyance)
DO you mean updates from Office?
