To access your start up items, go to start-run and type msconfig. From there go to startup, and uncheck the installer program.

Not sure but it sounds like you may not be logged in as a local system administrator on the machine.  Try doing that and then rerunning the install.

you might need to download "Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable"

Right click My Computer, pick Propertes, then go to Automatic updates, and click Turn Off Automatic Updates.  That stops the Windows XP updates.

Press f8 for XP.\n\nhttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1643&page=2\n\nOr use msconfig at run.

Use Windows UPdate and it will be an optional software installation.

Umm.. I think I know exactly what it does to the registry. If you want to do it I posted the instructions below:\nTo improve the core system performance in Windows XP, you need to make certain modifications to the registry entries. \n\nWARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause very serious, system-wide problems. Incorrect entries may cause installation problems or prevent the computer from starting. You may be required to reinstall the operating system. \n\nYou will not be warned of incorrect entries while you edit the Registry to change values. Therefore, please back up the registry files by following these steps: \n\n1. Click Start, select Run, and type Regedit. \n2. From File menu, click Export file. \n3. Select "All" option to take a complete backup of the registry. \n4. Enter "regback" as the file name and save it on the desktop. \n\nIf you make any incorrect entries, the backup file can be used to replace the corrupted registry entries. \n\nAfter taking a backup of the registry, change the "DisablePagingExecutive" option to "1" by following these steps: \n\n1. Click Start, select Run, and type regedit. \n2. Click the plus (+) sign beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. \n3. Click the plus (+) sign beside System. \n4. Click the plus (+) sign beside CurrentControlSet. \n5. Click the plus (+) sign beside Control. \n6. Click the plus (+) sign beside Session Manager. \n7. Click Memory Management. \n8. Locate and right-click the "DisablePagingExecutive" option on the right pane. \n9. Select Modify. \n10. Change the value to "1". \n11. From the Registry menu, click Exit. \n12. Restart the system. \n\nThese steps will keep the core Windows system in memory and not paged to the disk. As a result, the core system performance will be improved.

You will need to reboot a couple of times for it to work.\n                                                                        Click here =     Stop System32 Folder From Opening Upon Boot = http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/xp_system32opens.vbs\n\n          +          +        And click here =        System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 =  \n http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;170086

Try downloading the Windows Installer Clean Up utility from this website:  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301\n\nIt gets rid of everything associated with the program that add/remove programs misses.

If you're using Windows XP, set your user account as an Administrator, and leave the rest as basic users.  They shouldnt be able to install programs at all, if my understanding of that system is accurate.

yes, it sounds like it, format the c drive, make a directory called xpinstall or something, copy the folder i386 into the folder you made on the c drive, navigate to that foler and type winnt.exe
