Windows Installer Pop-Up Problem

[Guest patetc]

I am using Windows XP, SP3 and WMP 11. All are up to date with the

most recent updates.

 

Every time I start Windows, the Windows Installer box pops up saying

"the feature you are trying to use is in a networ resource that is

unavailable". I have to click on cancel numerous times to cancel

before it goes away.

 

This also happens when I start WMP but goes away when I close WMP. If

I want to view a video file, this is annoying and I have to click

multiple times to get rid of it.

 

I don't have any programs waiting to be installed, as far as I know

and can't find anything listed either in start-up or services.

 

I don't know what else to check and would appreciate any suggestions.

I can't find this problem listed on the Microsoft website and am

unable to post a question in the forums, even though I'm signed in.

 

Help please!
