Michael, yes,I already register my copy and I have my anti virus installed on my system. Actually, that's only happened whenever I'm connected to the Internet. But, while I'm doing something like creating a documents or other than, I have no problem. Regards, Roden d_zalameda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael G.

Another possibility is that your copy of Windows XP hasn't been registered yet. Have you recently installed Windows on your system and did you do the whole online registration thing? I've never ran a Windows XP system that hadn't been registered yet so I don't know what exactly happens when you haven't registered it. I know that it does run in some sort of trial or demo mode but I don't know what happens when the trial mode runs out. It's possible you'd get the message you're getting now. Perhaps someone else on the list could provide better info on this topic. But I'd still run a virus check. Make sure you have the latest virus definitions installed for whatever virus utility you're using. If you don't have a virus checker you can download a demo version of Norton at Download.Com. You can use it free for 14-days I think. But that will be enough time to get your computer checked out and cleaned. And 20 minutes should be just enough time for you to download and install the software. You may have to reboot your computer first before you run the scan though.
