Pissed Installer trying to run at startup...

Hey everyone, I got this really annoying problem, hopefully someone can help. Everytime I startup, a Windows installer tries to run, but says the installer package can't be opened. I believe the problem started happening around the time I was letting Windows update do its automatic update thing. I tried to clear my temp folder, but that didn't help... I am running Win ME... Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Life36,

Go to Start > Run > "msconfig" and uncheck anything that looks like the installer program from the Startup tab.

Ahhh, thank you so much. That worked perfectly, just a matter of finding out which one it was.

Thanks again!
