disk installation

When I turn on my computer I get a pop up box that tell me to insert CD for
Instantsharedevices.msi. It will not let me close and I do not have a disk
for this. It just keeps on trying to install. How do I get rid of this or
find this device.

Hi there,

That is a hard one

I guess it is related to HP software you might have done a to thorough
cleanup or deleted a file, reinstall your HP software and see if that will
solve the problem?

If you do not have any HP software installed than you can let us know as
well.

Let us know if it solved your problem?

Best regards,

You're posting to a thread which has expired from Microsoft's servers, so most
of us won't be able to see the post you are replying to. Please start a new
thread and describe what your problem is, including your operating system (XP)
and which service pack you have installed.

If you only have service pack 1, and the machine has an internet connection, it
is very probably infected with malware and will need a clean install (a repair
installation will not help). More details below.

The problem with the HP software may be due to an infection, or it may simply
require service pack 2 or 3 to be installed, or it could be a problem with their
software. HP support might be able to help, although even if you can fix this
problem I would recommend a clean install.

Harry.

Quoting PA Bear on the procedure for a clean install:

"Backup your personal data (none of which may be 100% trustworthy), then do a
format & clean install of Windows. Please note that a Repair Install (AKA
in-place upgrade) will NOT fix this!

cf. http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so take
care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting the machine
to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that isn't brand-new or
hasn't been freshly formatted:
