   I am trying to fix a friend's computer that has an odd problem. They   
   claim they did not do anything unusual, but regardless when they   
   restart XP they get a message that there is a problem installing Corel   
   Photo Shop Album 5. They were not trying to install that, they don't   
   want to install it, they don't have it to install. But Install Shield   
   (I think) keeps asking them to insert a disk. After they cancel out of   
   that they get the message that Corel WordPerfect is trying to install.   
   And, again, they were not trying to install that.   
      
   I have done what I can figure out to stop this. We checked the   
   registry in all of the places where start-up programs hide. We checked   
   the registry for "Corel" and cleaned out any suspect entries. But   
   still the system tries to install Photo Shop Album and WordPerfect.   
      
   The computer is a Dell running XP SP2, fully up-to-date, with firewall   
   and anti-virus and the full Norton Security package.   
      
   What is going on here and how can we fix it?   
      
      
   TIA.
