opening apps initiallizes an installer??
Greetings, I have a very strange dilemma. For the past eight or nine days my system has been acting strangely in this way; every time I open MSIE, or Windows Explorer, or My Documents (among a few others) a Windows Installer somehow initializes wanting to install Microsoft Money 2003. I've had Money 2003 on my machine for months with no problems. To be honest, I can't think of a single thing that caused this odd behavior. When I'm opening MSIE initially I have to close the installer three times, and if I want to open something in a new browser window after MSIE is already running, then I only have to close the installer once. With "My Documents" and "Windows Explorer" among others, it only comes up once or twice. It always happens before the application or the folder or explorer opens, and whatever I am trying to open will not open until I close the installer however many times it tries to initialize. I am flaberghasted here. I installed nothing new, did nothing out of the ordinary when this problem began. It just "happened" somehow. If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Be blessed, Stoney __________________________________________________ ________________ Michael Stone "Perfect Peace can happen...just keep your mind stayed on the Lord." |

Had the same problem. Always happened after using one of those registry
cleaning apps. Reinstalling the MS Money 2k3 should solve the problem. "Stoney" wrote in message ... Greetings, I have a very strange dilemma.

Hi,
Do me a favor (either one of you or both) and export this key and send it to me via e-mail: Start/Run/Regedit [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Money...
