Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application'

I have a question about Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application:

I have the same problem that Installer accesses my floppy disk drive everytime I open an Office component. I also have tried to delete installer with no success after trying the 3 options mentioned in the Annoyance section. I can't get a new version of Installer to load. I had Windows ME and the problem started when I upgraded to Xp - Pro. Now when I try to run a program that utilizes the installer it won't load and if I try to install the version for 2000 or NT the program only says "I am using Windows 95/98 version". Anyone - Help.

Format your hard drive and reload XP from scratch; upgrading oveer ME is like paving a highway over quicksand. I didn't have you problems, but they were too numerous to list. I know others that had similar experiences.
