    This is kind of odd and annoying, but not causing any real problem. When I open Spyware Blaster, a window titled Windows Installer opens first. A message in the window says, "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Microsoft Word 2002 disk and click OK." I click Cancel and Spyware Blaster opens up. I uninstalled and re-installed Spyware Blaster, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

    I tried the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, but the Spyware Blaster program isn't listed as one of the installed programs available to be clicked to clean up.

    The problem is with Word - is that or Office listed?

    I tried inserting the Microsoft Works cd and clicking OK. Windows installer did its thing and that seems to have resolved this. Spyware Blaster opens up normally now, and Word seems fine as well. I'm not sure why this seems to have taken care of this, but I can live with the result. Ignorance sometimes is bliss, at least for me.
