Odyseey SDK Error Message - Windows 2000 on Dell Latitude
I have a message on my computer that says "Please wait while Windows configures Odyssey SDK" that will not go away. My computer is a Dell Latitude running Windows 2000. I can't make the error message go away without going into Task Manager and forcing it to terminate. At the same time, I can't get into MS Outlook, getting the following message OUTLOOK.EXE - Unable to Locate DLL, which is followed by three lines of stuff that I can retype if important.

In case you're still looking for an answer, this may help:
If you have a wireless adapter, the software it uses may well use the Odyssey SDK. Eg, I have a laptop here with a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter which started coming up with a similar message to yours. It was looking for the .msi file in order to reinstall or change some components. Just insert the CD which came with the wireless adapter - it should be able to locate the file it needs.
Incidentally this seemed to happen as a result of a corrupt user profile. The user logged in to Windows but got a default profile. He then logged out and back in and got his usual profile, but also started getting this error.
