I have sucessfuly installed acad2008, but now every time I start MS Word the windows installer opens and says "preparing to install autocad
I can cancel the installer, and word opens OK, but it is pain.
Why has this happened, but more importantly can I do something tp prevent it happening.
Thanks
Bill
Did you start Autocat from the start menu the first time you ran it so that it knows where its files are? Did you let AutoCAD put its own icon on the desktop?

Thanks for responding Bob,
yep I did all that. I don't have a problem with Autocad, that starts just fine. The problem manifests whenever I start "Word" or open a word document.
I am running W2K, and Office 2000 all with latest updates and service packs, if it has any bearing.
