When I'm running Excel 2002, when I run Help, I get a popup saying...
  Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP
  Professional with FrontPage

I have to cancel 4 or 5 times before it stops.

I don't want FrontPage.  How do I prevent this from happening?
Hmmm... I just did a test with Word and it's happening there too.

TIA

I suspect some help files are missing. The message you get is NOT trying to
install FrontPage, the original installation was done with a CD with the
Microsoft Office Professional with Frontpage program on it. In other words,
this is the version you have and it is just trying to install the missing
components you are asking for. Insert the disk and all should be well

Yes precisely (I feel like I'm in a comedy sketch ;-))

Glad it all works

Is this the right room for an argument?
