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

I have windows XP and everytime I open any program on the desktop, windows installer starts up and tries to load "PatchSourceList". It's not on the computer. Installer is referencing this file "Ac705PrP_efgj.msp". How can I stop the installer from trying to load something that's not on the computer? Thanks for your time. AR

Try using the utility found here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 Remove "PatchSourceList" from the list generated. If that doesn't work you might have to remove Adobe Acrobat from the list as well.
