FP wants to install Powerpoint!

Here's a weird one.

Recently, when I launch FP (2002), it immediately begins to want to
install Powerpoint (which, incidentally, is already installed and
functional on my PC). I have tried to let it proceed, but that has been
unsuccessful as it tries to locate, without success, a certain CAB file
on the CD. If I hit Cancel, then FP launches and performs normally.

I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

TIA,
Craig

Craig, I'll be watching for replies here. Wish I had an answer for
you...because I have the same problem when launching Visual Basic. VB wants
to install some Dell Picture Studio software. I've become quite adept at
clicking 'cancel' button twice in rapid succession. ;)

Have you tried running a repair of FP and PPT (Help - Detect and Repair)
