Try inserting whatever Office Pro XP disk you do have. No one says you have
to install a program you don't want but you may need a file that's still on
the CD.

I don't have the disk with Frontpage (Front Page?), and I don't especially
want to install the product any way. I use the big four (Excel, Word,
Outlook and PowerPoint), but have never really needed Frontpage.

Thanks for the quick response.

Have you tried inserting the disk and see what it wants next?

Every time I startup my computer, or launch an MS Office Application, I
get a
message that the computer is looking for a disk with MS Office with
Front
Page. I don't use or want to use Front Page, but a few weeks ago, a
colleague sent a file to me in this program, and I tried to open it not
realizing what it was. Any way, since then my computer has tried to
install
the program....and I really don't want or need it. Any thoughts on how
I
can
make this stop.

Thanks!

It may not be asking for FrontPage itself. What it's asking for is something
off the CD entitled MS Office with FrontPage. There were certain versions of
Office that came with FrontPage, and the installer would always refer to the
installation cd in this fashion whether or not it was doing anything with
installing FrontPage.

Hope this helps,
