Guest Kevin Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Every time I try to open Internet Explorer, I get a windows Installer window that pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the microsoft office professional with frontpage disk and click OK" If I hit cancel a few times it goes away and internet explorer opens. Any ideas?

This is usually a problem with the Windows Installer system. You can locate the Windows Installer Cleaner and remove the "offending" installer entry. Then, you should re-install the one you removed.
