Pop-up beta release message - bloody annoying!
dkmallick
Office 2000 trial version ever and why the hell does this error message pops
up? This thing happens right when the machine boots up and sometimes will
lock up my machine. Clicking 'OK' thousand times doesn't get rid of it. Even
if you do get rid of it, it comes back later whenever you are trying to open
another program or doing something you wanna do in peace. It is annoying as
hell and I can't figure out where it is hiding. I have tried to hack the
registry, looked for orphan dll files and many other things - but I just
can't get rid of it.
Its nice to know that I am not the only one having the problem.
Does anybody have a solutio?
