When I boot or start my computer, WINDOWS INSTALLER ask me to enter the PhotoGallery CD (I don't even know what that program is). I just press OK in that little box and wait to see what's going to happen. And, it says "error 1706" and that it cannot find some .msi file. Could someone tell me what to do about that? please.
Remark: I ran MSCONFIG and tried to find the program in the Start up menu but I didn't find it.
