How do I prevent Windows installer from attempting to install deleted programs during startup?

Question

WIN VER 5.1 SERVICE PACK 2, I deleted a software package that was corrupt. I was unable to uninstall the software because it did not have an uninstall package and it was not displayed in the "Add Remove Programs" section. I deleted the directory and any shortcuts I found and cleaned up the Start menu area.
.
That seemed to go off without any hitch. When I start my computer the windows installer kicks on and attempts to install a part of the package database/program over and over again.

Is there any way I can change a setting somewhere to halt this installation but not disabling the windows installer?

Answer 1

go to start, then click on run. type in msconfig and press enter. then go to the tab that holds startup programs. look for the installer there, and uncheck it. save your changes before you exit msconfig. it will ask you if you want to restart now whenever you make a change. you don't have to restart now. the next time you turn your computer on, you will get a message saying something to the effect that you have changed the startup of your computer. you can click the box so that you don't get the message again. this is also a great way to change what starts up with your computer to make it start up faster. you can go into msconfig every now and then to edit it when a persistent program like aim tries to start every time your computer starts up. should work like a charm.
