Outlook launches Word?

[Mike]

Hi, When I launch Outlook XP it opens fine. A few
seconds later I recieve the microsoft install dialog box
that tells me it is configuring word. Word then opens but
without any menus or smart icons. Only by launching a new
occurance of word can I get it to react.

Any ideas what is calling word?

I have uninstalled, reinstalled. There is no VB code and
no macros whatsoever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
