Can someone tell me why Microsoft office keeps trying to install
every time I start Outlook..?? Then maybe can offer some advise on
how to stop it from occuring..Thanks
 
This can happen if you change your program preferences/options to include
something in Office that was not originally loaded.

Sidestep this problem by always performing a custom install, and then
choosing to install every option. Since there is nothing left to install,
you will never get these warnings.

Note: When I use to perform a standard install, I use to see this all the
time. (-:

FWIW, just put in the Office CD and let it do what it want's to do, and
that will most likely stop this behavior.
