Everytime I right click on a file or attempt to delete a file, a windows installer windows opens and attempt to install contribute.mis, a file which can't be found. How do I remove this file from the install list?

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package and run it. http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe
You can also run MsiZap.exe and it is available from the Installer Cleanup Utility package:
The installation will install to C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up\MsiZap.exe
Use the msizap tool with the flag g! and it will identify orphan files, then you can delete them.
Open explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up right click on the file MsiZap.exe and select Copy. Left click on Local Disk (C:) and in the right hand pane right click on a blank space and select Paste.
Click Start, Run and type cmd and press Enter.
Type cd\ and press Enter.
You should now be in the Root Directory of c:\>
Type msizap g! and press Enter.

It looks like your computer at one time had Contribute CS3 installed. on it. Look in add and remvoe programs and see if it is still there. If it is remove it. If not go to this site and install the trial version then unistall it. (This might require a restart).
