Are you getting this?
Want to know solution?
And this
Or maybe this
Well that is the Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notifications (KB905474). You might have downloaded it when doing an automatic update of your Windows XP. It is an optional update but once installed it becomes permanent. Here is a workaround for such problem.
First Method
· Lauch Windows Task Manager.
· End wgatray.exe process in Task Manager.
· Restart Windows XP in Safe Mode.
· Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32.
· Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32\dllcache.
· Lauch RegEdit.
· Browse to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
· Delete the folder ‘WgaLogon’ and all its contents
· Reboot Windows XP.
Note: With this method, you may be prompted to install WGA Notifications again which can still be unselected.
Second Method
Use System Restore to restore the PC to a previous restore point that WGA Notifications hasn’t kicked in, and then carefully stop KB905474 from been applied to the system. To use System Restore, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore.
Note: Again, you may be prompted again to install WGA Notification, so it must be bypassed.
Third Method
Another alternative suggest that three files are installed Windows XP System Folder for WGA:
\WINDOWS\system32\WgaLogon.dll
\WINDOWS\system32\WgaTray.exe
\WINDOWS\system32\LegitCheckControl.dll
The wgatray.exe process makes the check for genuine windows software. If WgaLogon.dll is denied execution right, that WinLogon is unable to call it to check on Windows validity and display notification package at boot, and since WgaLogon is also responsible for running and maintaining WgaTray.exe, no more tray popups either.
To change and disable the execute bit of WgaLogon.dll:
· Turn off Simple File Sharing in Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab.
· Right click WgaLogon.dll in Windows Explorer and open the Security Tab.
· Click Advanced button.
· Uncheck the Inherit box at the bottom.
· Click the Copy button.
· Click OK.
· Go through each listed user/group and remove the “Read & Execute” permission for WgaLogon.dll, leaving the “Read” permission as-is.
· Click OK to apply the permission changes.
· Close the file properties dialog.
· Restart the computer.
· Turn “Use simple file sharing” on (optional).
Fourth Method
· Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrative permissions.
· Make sure that the WGA Notifications version that exists on the computer is a pilot version listed above. The version format for the pilot version is 1.5.0532.x. In this case, you can uninstall versions 527-532 only (Note: the steps should disable other version of WGA Notifications too). To find the WGA Notifications version, follow these steps:
