windows installer trying to find a program
every time I turn on my PC (running XP professional), windows installer trys
to install a program called Photo Gallery. it ties up my PC for 15-20 minutes if I don't cancel it out 3 times immedialtely after the message comes on the screen. It eventually after 20 minutes or so asks for the Photo Gallery disk. I do not have a Photo Gallery disk. I can not find Photo Gallery on my PC to delete it. this is very annoying and time consuming for me. any suggestions to get it to stop this will be much appreciated. Thank you!
