When I boot up my computer, the Windows Installer prompts me to load a disc for PhotoGallery each time. I do not have a disc. The only way that I can re-boot is disconnect power. I cannot re-start or shut down normally. How can I solve this problem?

Hi,
Are you able to trace the PhotoGallery entry in the registry?If you do,try remove it from the 'RUN' folder inside registry.
If u are not using the program,i will suggest that you remove it completely and replace with other software.

start-run-type MSCONFIG. open start menu and uncheck any reference to photo gallery.

Should have said reboot and see if it is gone.

Sounds like you might have abnormally terminated a Photo Gallery install. If that's the case try another install and if it's succesful, do an uninstall.

He doesn't have the disk.

MSCONFIG star remove it so i doesnt start up end of story yet people continue .. kidding but see im not sure what your looking for... remove off start up or off comp?

Wondering what you did wrong happens only when its too late

Good point, Per. Mental lapse on my part.
I suspect that it will not be in msconfig. If it isn't, I see 2 options:

Contact Photo Gallery tech support.
Try and find a trial version of Photo Gallery. Install and then uninstall it.

It may also be hiding in the
HKEY-local machine-software-microsoft-windows-currentversion-run key in the registry.

If it's in the HKEY-local machine-software-microsoft-windows-currentversion-run key in the registry, it will show up in msconfig.

i have a friend who just purchased a gateway laptop, who has the same problem.he cannot find any referance to that filename in his computer anywhere. it may be a malicous file.
