perpetual install
 

Every time I reboot (and some times when I don't) and open Outlook 2002,
I get apopup telling me I need to install a feature. Requires Outlook
CD in the drive. I beleive it has something to do with registration.
How do I eliminate this perpetual install?

Thought I should add the popup message.
"MS Outlook has not been installed for the current user."

Put the CD in the drive.

Put the CD in the drive.
Unfortunately, I have learned to keep it there. Works fine, but I would
like to trade this poor work-around for a resolution of the problem.

Did you install it from an Administrator acccount for all users?

Have no idea. I turn on the PC and get a desktop. Is that Administrator?

It may or it may not be. Right-click My Computer, choose Manage, expand
"Local Users and Groups", select Users, right-click your account, choose
Properties, and examine the Member Of tab. If it contains "Administrators",
then it is. If not, it isn't and you'll have to uninstall the application
and use an Administrator account to reinstall the it.

I have no option of 'Local Users and Groups'
And Outlook ran up til 1-2 weeks ago without this burp. Does this not
imply it was set up correctly already?

Were I in your shoes, I'd uninstall and reinstall. I'd also use the account
named "Administrator", the password for which you created when you set up
your PC (if, in fact, you did set it up).

Bummer. But how do I use administrator. According to
windowsxp.mvsp.org, "In Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as
built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only"
