erroneous install message

[traveller]

I recently upgrade Windows ME to XP. When I open Outlook, a dialogue box tells me I'm trying to install Small Business XP. I don't have Small Business XP. Under control panel remove programs, there is a listing for three Small Business XP components including the program itself but it is a phantom. I don't have it. How can I ditch the annoying attempt to load this ghost program without removing Office 2002?

just my opinion, back up all of your information, files, emails, music, pictures, format the hard drive and do a clean install of xp. xp will install over ME, but it is not supported by microsoft, the reason is so many conflicts are caused, i think you have found one, some computer companies such as compaq , hp, and dell have released patches for the upgrade, but they dont have much effect. as for the Small Business xp, i have office 2002 and have never had this come up, or heard of it happening before. did a search and seen no others with similar situations. either way, if you intend to use xp a clean install is needed, or you will face one problem after another until you go insane, or clean install, which problems can still occur, but far less, and usually not as severe.
