Re: Windows XP installer tries to install a program I no longer have...or want

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information.

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

When you run the CleanUp Utility it *should* list Roxio 7.
If it does not, then * do NOT * use it to remove any other installer configuration information.

When I boot up, everything is fine until I get to my desktop and there is Window Installer trying to install Roxio 7. I no longer have it on my system and don't want it on my system. If I leave it alone, it eventually says that it can't find a certificate and gives an error message. After clicking on the OK about three times it goes away...Until I try right-clicking on something...Icon...xxx.exe...etc. Then the fun starts all over again. I have done a system wide search for anything to do with Roxio 7 and have deleted everything that I find. It's like crabgrass...you can kill it but it won't stay dead. I am the administrator and no other users on system. I have run several registry clean-up utilities and that doesn't work either. I have Service Pack 2, and the latest 3.1 installer and have no other serious problems...HELP ME SOMEONE ! ! !
