I have Windows XP SP2 with Outlook Express. Recently, when sending my
e-mails I get a window that comes up saying "! MSI must be launched thru
Setup" and then immediately another window that says "CIB Please wait while
Windows configures CIB." I have no idea what either of these is. After a
little experimenting I found that just closing the windows with those
messages about 5 or 6 times (because they pop right back up again that many
times) finally eliminates them and it seems my e-mails gets sent normally
after that.

Does anyone know what these windows mean, and what can I do to get rid of
the problem? Other than that, my Outlook Express seems to work fine, as it
always did before this started.

Thanks.

Could be that you have a virus. See:

What we know about CIB.MSI:

Make sure that your anti-virus is up-to-date and run a scan.

If you uncheck/disable the above, does the behavior persist?

Did you recently install Zune?

OT: Your headers suugest that your WinXP SP2 machine is not fully patched.
Please check in at Windows Update ASAP.

Thanks for answering. I have Norton 360 and it is up to date. I ran a
comprehensive virus scan and my machine came up totally clean. I then ran
the free scan on the prevx page, and same results.

I'm still at a loss...

Thanks for replying. I tried what you suggested, and the behavior persists.
I do not have Zune.

I'm not sure what you mean by my machine is not fully patched.....I have it
enabled to install all updates every day....What am I missing here? Thanks
for your help.

Sorry, might be a false alarm.

Go to Windows Update website | open Update History (left-hand menu) | Tell
me if "Security Update for Outlook Express and Windows Mail (941202)" was
ever installed successfully.

I checked and I do have the update that you mentioned (941202)---says it was
installed successfully, so I will follow up on some of those links you sent
and see what I can find. Thanks again.
