Mostly this is an MS Office thing. Office 07 runs like a dream in XP, but in Vista 64, it won't start unless you run through a whole installation hoo-haa. This happens everytime i try to start an Office app, and it's getting on my baps.
It's also happening when I start IE7, although that starts an installer for a totally separate program, MindManager.

Does anyone know why the installer starts, and how to stop it?.

I've updated Office and Vista64 both to SP1, which hasn't sorted the problem out at all.

Any help would be appreciated.
