My computer is more than 5 years old. It has windows XP. Due to a system breakdown I had to re-install Win XP ( I Could not find my original system Disk). When I tried to do an automatic upgrade, Microsoft put this annoying message on my screen. Is there a way out.

It looks like you used a pirated copy of windows to do your reinstall. The windows genuine advantage software has now tagged your pirated copy and will not allow you to download any upgrades or service packs. The message that you are getting can't be removed. You need to buy a legal copy of windows or contact MS to purchase a legal Key.

First of all you need to download HijackThis from www.Filehippo.com, then reboot to safe mode. Open up HijackThis and scroll down to the selection that says “020 - Winlogon Nofity: Wgalogon - …” select that, and click fix checked.
You can also go and delete the actual executable that nags you. The full path to it should be (for most installs) C:\Windows\System32\wgatray.exe.
Reboot after this. No longer should you get the popups and that ****** as you log in should not show up either.

Get a CD key from microsoft, just call them in the past they have given me 2 new CD keys due to me activating my legal copy to many times.

You have to get a valid copy of windows. If you once owned a valid copy, Microsoft will send you a new key...for a price.
