Windows installer suddenly launches on boot

Hi,

Win2k SP2

I had problems mentioned in this thread and resolved them by running the repair feature from the Win2k Intall CD.

Now the machine boots but with 2 new problems. One was that Outlook express wouldn't run. I reinstalled and it now works fine.

The other was that Windows Installer launches upon booting wanting to install the software for my printer/scanner, which is already installed and working properly. I have to hit cancel many times as it just keeps launching over and over. If I click cancel for a while, I eventually get it to close. I can't even reboot while the Installer window is up.

I went to controll panel and tried to remove my printer/scanner but that sets off the windows installer and we are back in the loop again.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
