Default What am I installing?

The last few days, when I try to open Outlook 2002, I get a popup with a
progress bar as if something is being installed. After this I get a
popup with "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD or removable
disk." Since I do not know what is trying to install, I hit 'Cancel.'
Outlook then closes.
To my knowledge, I want to install nothing. How do I eliminate this and
get Outlook to open?

Assuming you are running Windows 2000/XP, you can check the
application/system event logs. The MSI engine always logs what
feature/component is being installed/repaired.

Best guess at this point is you need to let the repair complete so Outlook
can start.

Sorry for the slow reply.
Umm, where is the application/system event log?

Right click on my computer manage expand system tools event viewer.

You can also get there via control panel administrative tools event
viewer
or
start run eventvwr.msc ok button
