Installer keeps on running

Hi,

I have just been setting up a new PC with Vista Ultimate. Adding my
application software was going OK but now every time I re-boot, put a CD/DVD
in the drive windows Installer pops up and comes up with "Preparing to
install" and then waits a few secs and stops. There is no clue what it is
trying to install.

I Googled this problem and checked out a few web sites, notably ask Leo at
http://ask-leo.com/windows_installer...eboot_why.html and then
tried to use the Windows Installer Cleanup but again it is just not clear
what software is causing this. I have also used Max Registry Cleaner but
this does not seem to fix the problem.

The only solution I can think of is to unload all software, reinstall
windows and start over. But it has taken me 2 days to get this far so I am
reluctant to do so

Any ideas will be very welcome!

John
