Answer 2

That is an odd problem.  Try going to start> run> and then type msconfig. click on the startup tab See if you have anything in there that says anything about an installer.  if there isn't, then download process explorer from MS here:

See if any of your running processes are an installer, if they are, then end the process by right clicking on it and clicking terminate process.  then go back to that msconfig window under the startup tab and uncheck the box by the installer.  then reboot your computer and see if you still have the same problem.

Try rebooting
