Did you try looking for the installer and removing it? It may be somewhere in a temporary folder.

        The MSI popping up all the time is usually the result of an incomplete or corrupted install. If it gives you any detail information you might try removing the program involved and running the installation again (if it's something you want installed).

        I ran the htl and took care of the stuff  that needed taken care of and what not. The windos installer is still there and i don't know how how to find it's temp folder or the program that it is trying to install. I do have the windows update but it will not update untill i give it's ok,and it hasn't notified me in a few weeks. There's no programs in my add/remove that I didn't put there,and I havn't dowwnloaded anything in about a month, eversince i have been trying to get rid of viruses,and adware. How do I find whatever is trying to install to get rid of it?

          I can't find it any where :-? I'm lost as to where to look. And the only time it ever does it is when i first boot up the pc. this is the message:
                The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available.
            
          Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'WPO2OO2A.msi' in the box below.
          Use source: c:\hp\tmp\src



           When I push cancel it still trys to install and then this message pops up again and i have to repeat cancel 3 times for it to disapear so that my pc will continue its start up.  Help :-[ :-?

            Okay after hours and hours of searching, the only thing that i was able to figure out was that the program trying to install was a office word free trial thing that was being activated to install when Piolet was started....so i got rid of piolet and now i don't have it anymore.  Thank you all for all your help though!! ;D
