I've got this recurring problem, and well, it's pissing me off to say the least.

Everytime I open Outlook, or Connect my Ipaq 1910, I get a windows installer, and it won't go away. No matter how many times I hit Cancel, it keeps coming back up. And if I let it run, it asks for a CD, Which I don't have, then damn installer starts all over again.


How do I stop that damn thing?!?
I'm this far-----> <--------------from kicking this damn computer

If you've logged in under a new account, that shit will pop up.

did you just install microsoft outlook?

long shot... but try launching outlook with the safe switch...

i.e. quick way to do it is go to start -> Run enter "Outlook /safe" (without quotes) although.. that may not let you synch with the pda.. but worth a shot

There is a utility on microsofts website to clear out installs that are in progress like that. I dont know where it is for sure or what it is even called. But I do know it exists.

No, I've used it for about a year now.

I can try that. But I'm not getting the errors with the Outlook startup now. It just doesn't want to sync up with the PDA

I can search for it. I had no idea such a utility existed.
