status disk? status.msi

i get this pop up every time my computer starts up...
"insert the 'status' disk and click ok
any ideas

Remove the install with this:
290301 - Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301

The Quick way to remove this window is CRTL+ALT+DEL.
Under Programs Select END NOW.
I contacted MS about this problem.
They Told Me That when installing MSN products over Conterfeit Software is
one of the reasons this problem pops up.
Yes, I did try this with my Conterfeit copy of XP PRO.
What can I say...... now I paid for it :)
ps: THE UPDATES STILL WILL NOT LOAD even when SP2 installed.

Check the CD key that is on the installed version. WGA may still be
reading the old "counterfit" code.

If you have any HP printing unit (printer or combo: print-copy-scan) is possible, that installation of HP Status Monitor is incorrect, try reinstall unit software. Recommended full uninstall and cleen install of unit software.

status.msi fix. If you have HP software on your PC (printers etc) load the disc when the pop up window shows a '1' location. Click on Browse and open the HP disc from the CD drive. An icon named status should show up . Click on this icon and load. This will get rid of the status.msi loop

Thanks! It was the HP program causing this. I put the disk in and it cleared the problem up.

I am glad I found this forum, I inserted the HP disk and hey presto everything worked.

Your suggestion of using HP printer installation CD helped. Simple solution.

I have an authentic disk supplied by the manufacturer of my laptop - I still get this message constantly since rebuilding my computer. Now what?

You get *what* message?
At what point do you get the message?
Exactly what do you mean by "rebuilding my computer"?
Did you get the message before rebuilding the computer?
Exactly what disk is the "authentic disk" you mention? How is that
related to your problem?

Uninstall HP Photosmart All-In-One Driver Software program and HP Update program - then reinstall only the HP Photosmart All-In-One Driver Software. Do not update, just live with it. The web link for the Full Feature software download is given below.

A BIG thank you for this solution. Put the HP install CD in and guided the browse selection to the STATUS.MSI file.
Thank you again. Was driving me crazy.

heres an easy fix for win7 vista and xp users i have just found out!! you dont have to uninstall or install anything!
just press start click on the search then type run then click on it (xp users just click start tun) then type in "msconfig" (without quotes") then click on the tab called startup then check off all the things that have hp at the begining of it example "hpsysdvr application" or "hp digital imaging" anything that has hp at the start of it then once thats done restart then BAM! no more anoying status.msi popups!! if it doesnt work then im sorry but it sure worked for me!

This was the BEST advice I've ever found on how to fix a computer problem quickly. All that I had to do was find my HP original CD and I actually uninstalled the program and once I was done, the message finally went away. All was well. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
