Sorry, I was wrong, I do get those messages as well. I am not sure why I
thought I got past it.... maybe because I just watch MS do its thing and it
requires no effort from me so I ignore what's going on and wait out the 20
or so seconds it makes me wait.

Jim,
You may very well be right. I just started with the 2010 stuff yesterday and
I found it extremely frustrating. Also, it seems it doesn't happen to
William. So if William has a solution, I think many of us (at least Steve
and I) would like to see what he has.

That's the issue with the stuff I have found on various forums including
Microsoft Technet and Community-- some say it (Reinstall message and
process) never happens to them; others say Virtual machines is the only
answer;  and some say it's by design.
