I have received windows genuine advantage notification (KB905474) over 6 times. I let it install at least twice and believe its on my system. HOWEVER I am still getting notifications of this " new update" every few days. PLEASE tell me how to make them stop. And yes my XP is genuine from Dell. Mel |

It's a D*#& shame the US government didn't bust the company up the way they did AT&T. We'll probably have to put up with it until we're finally driven to switching to Linux. |

Try the following; When update notice appears select "custom" choice (not express) installation - uncheck the update - check option not to notify you of this update again.

I did that a week or two ago and have had no updates show up since. John |

Well it seems to have stopped that one (thanks AJR) and I will see what happens now.

I told it to never show me it again, and still receive updates from MS (actually 10 new ones as of yesterday!) Generally they are only released once a month, so this could explain why you've not gotten any recently... |

Shortly after my post I received a group of 6 or so updates one of which was wga again. I installed all except wga. Since then got a group of 6 or eight more and installed them except for WGA. Didn't have time to see if they were repeats of the first group or not. The M$ saga continues. Mel |
