Answer 1

I too had the same proble a week before.There are two ways to solve it .The reason of the problem is that you have installed an XP update called Windows Geniune Advantage Notification.You cannot uninstall it . I have tried to uninstall it but couldn't.The first way is to buy a new OS and change the product key of the software that has been working. The second and most easiest way is to take a backup of everything you had and REINSTALL the OS.



Think It helps:)

Answer 2

Assuming you have a real copy install Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications from MS website.

Answer 3

the easyest way is to do a system restore to a date before update was installed

then turn off the updates

Answer 4
