    Everytime I start Windows, an Install Wizard pops up trying to install Fax.msi. I have no idea what this is nor how to stop it. The error message I get is "1 is not a valid path. "

    What is this and how do I stop this nonsense?

    lpharless2000 - Welcome to the Board :)

    Try running the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility scan the list looking for something that appears to be FAX related, and something that matches any additional clues you might be seeing from the Microsoft Installer messages on your reboot. For example if it's HP Fax software that the installer is looking for, then look for HP Fax related software in the cleanup utility.

    Once you're certain you've found the right thing ... remove it.

    Let us know if it works for you.
