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:

OK, I have these symptoms but for a different reason. I did a bit-to-bit HDD copy (from a 30 to a 60GB) and set to be the active drive (using WD Data LifeGuard tools). When I set the new drive into the boot position, everything works fine EXCEPT for Office XP. Now it asks for the CD when every app starts. I cannot do Office updates, nor run service packs, and remove - reinstall doesn't help. EEEEEEK! (I'm sure there's some reg tweak, I just can't find it...) Any ideas are welcome

Run Windows Installer Clean Up Utility 
and scroll down to MS Office, highlight it and click Remove. Now you will need to 
reinstall Office.
