Need some advice guys, got a problem with a friends PC running Windows XP.

Every time the PC starts up the following happens:

Get a dialog box displayed, title is "Setup Wizard" with the message "Open Product, Product Code" and an OK button. Press the Ok button and get a second dialog box, title "Setup Wizard", with the message "it is necessary to login as administrator to install this program" and an Ok button. Click the Ok button and the dialog dissapears".

1. I have no idea what is trying to install.

2. There is only one user account set up on the PC and that has "admin" priviliges so why is the second dialog saying we need to login as administrator ?

TIA,

KJR

Have you checked the run and runonce registry settings after you get it started? Could give you a clue as to what is trying to install.
