Strange Happenings...

[Brian]

When I open a new IE window or any of my office applications, I get an
installation window for my Office software which I cancell and I can continue
web browsing, but my office applications (word,excel, etc) won't open.

Nothing unusual has happened on my PC lately, but now I can't access my
applications?

Is there something I can do?

What happens if you allow the installation to complete?

I won't complete, it's asking for the cd.
Should I insert the cd and let it finish?

Um, yes!

THanks Milly, I'll give it a go.

Sorry for seeming dumb, but nothing unusual had happened, so I didn't know
exactly what to do.
