    Well, I was browsing a random website when my browser said I needed to install a lagnuage pack to display Chinese language. So I was like, what ever, and went ahead. Now, everytime my computer starts up, my computer tries to instal MS Outlook 2002 (which I do not want) unsucessfully. How do I stop this?

    Start>Run>type "msconfig">Startup Tab> Find it under the Startup Item list.

    If you cant find it in the list take a screenshot and Ill help you.

    P.S - Ofcourse if that doesnt work, there is always System Restore.

    If you don't want the chinese font you can always uninstall it.

    start - control panel - regional and language option - languages(tab) - and uncheck the install files for east asian languages and it should go back. But I'm not sure if this will help. Post back and let me know.

    Couldn't you just uninstall MS Outlook if you don't use it...

    It is possible that MSOutlook starts installing because something in the startup sheet is trying to access it. Check MSconfig, as already suggested.
