Dexpot triggers XP Windows Installer after using TuneUp Util

[jimwg]

Greetings;

This occurs with both newest versions of Dexpot 1.6. Am using a 512meg RAM 1.6gig Thinkpad under XP Pro. After I used TuneUp Utilities, when I started up Dexpot it triggers Microsoft Office 2000 Windows Installer which claims a feature you're trying to use is on a CD-ROM, Error 1706. I can click cancel to around six to eight of these alert boxes before it lets me get to Depot but it's a pain and any new Dexpot setting I attempt triggers Windows Installer all over again. Though I"m reviewing (rightly or wrongly) using TuneUp Utilities anymore, in the meantime is there anyway I can disable what ever Dexpot does to trigger this reaction?

Thanks,

Have you tried reinstalling Dexpot?

Did you let TuneUp clean up your registry? Sounds like some obscure Windows feature which thinks some component registration is broken. Dexpot itself doesn't have anything to do with Windows Installer.

Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled Dexpot and gave the HD a deep cleaning via Advanced System Care but no go. Booting Dexpot still triggers Windows Installer. I'm a non-techie but I'm asking around if anyone knows of a program which can trace a program's calls to activate other programs. If you gave a suggestion of one I'd most appreciate it. I'm hoping TuneUp didn't corrupt more than I've seen!

One request: A way to save Dexpot configuration files so one needn't have to reproduce all their screen set-ups, just in case.
