Hung installation from Microsoft Office XP Standard gregfis 10/25/2008 4:22:00 AM I recently logged on to a Japanese language site and rec'd a message saying all characters may not be displayed unless installed the correct language software from MS Office XP Standard. I clicked Yes and on restarting was asked to insert the MS Office XP Standard disk. I now get a message that the fil can't be found, so instalation is not ossible. Now every time I start an application, the XP installer message comes up, again and again, trying to install but interfering with the running of other programs. Is there any way I can cancel this attempted installation? Note: I have tried to use System Restore but it wil not restore to an earler date! -- learner
