Hi there

Some time ago I must have wanted to uninstall something but cant recall what it is on my main computer. it doesnt get used a lot.

Now when I start up Windows Home Edition and log in.

The following things happen:

1 - Please wait while windows configures unload.
2 - The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM

AT THIS POINT I PRESS CANCEL AS I DONTKNOW WHAT IT IS THATS TRYING TO UNINSTALL AND IF I HAD THE DISK FR THE THING I THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE THE UNISTALL PROPERLY AT THE TIME

3 - Then Error 1706 comes up saying no valid source could be found for product unload. The windows instaler cannot continue.

So thats the extent of the problem ... I have to keep cancelling it down till it all goes away.

How do i stop this from happening at all! At start up.

Any suggestions would be brill.


Many thanks in advance

Try the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

I have downloaded that but I dont know what I should clean up? there is a long list of things???

Do you recognize most of the list? If you have Office there will be a lot of Office entries.

Anything that is totally alien? Can you copy/paste the list?

Please wait while windows configures unload

Are you sure, it says "unload"?
