MS Office tries to install something when I go to certain websites.

Recently I have found that when i go to certain websites MS Office launches and asks for the Offce 2000 CD to try and install something. These sites are usually ones where the MS IE pop-up blocker is blocking something with the little yellow bar at the top fo the screen.
This is a minor pain in the ass.
Anyone know what's happening and how to stop it?

You'd think so all right. :rolleyes:
The first window that pops up says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Standard. Gathering required information..."
Then another window pops up
" The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removeable disk that is not available. Insert the Microsoft Office SR-1 Standard disk and click OK"
Here is teh URL of a site where this happens (FYI not p0rn at all ):-

Can't look at that site as I'm in work, but I'd say its trying to install either fonts or a foreign language pack.

Cheers. Should installing either of those cause Office to fire up?
FYI - That's a US site to do with songs in guitar notation so its probably not a foreign language pack I would assume.
