Frontpage tries to install when I navigate to some web pages in IE

Summary: When I access some web pages a dialog box appears asking me to
install features of FrontPage 2000. How do I stop this dialog box appearing?

Detail: This happens to me for, roughly, 1 out of every 10 web pages I
access and it happens every time I try to access the guilty web pages. An
example of one such web page is:

http://www.bartleby.com/100/

Problem:

1) The windows installer dialog box comes up, and asks me to wait while it
tries to install features of FrontPage 2000

2)Another dialog appears telling me the feature is on the FrontPage 2000
SR-1 disk and tells me to insert it.

I've tried inserting the disk and it does not solve the problem.

This probably only started recently after I installed the .Net framework and
various other bits and pieces thet MS suggested I needed to install.

I'm using Windows XP home.

I've just noticed that it tends to happen with pages that have a pop-up - I
have pop up blocking on. There's a clcikk and the yellow box saying pop up
blocked, then the attempt to install FP takes place.

I use FP 2000 and have done for about three years on this system without any
FP/IE problems until now.

Any ideas about how I can fix this?

Wish I knew, but I don't want to pay Microsoft an arm a and a leg to find out.

According to their support info I should get two free questions - but was
informed I could not have freebies on the products involved. As they are both
MS products this is a bit rich!

I suspect they have may have stopped supporting Frontpage 2000 properly, so
I might have to upgrade.

Anyone else having problems with Office 2000 products after installing .Net?
