The Quick way to remove this window is CRTL+ALT+DEL.
Under Programs Select END NOW.
I contacted MS about this problem.
They Told Me That when installing MSN products over Conterfeit Software is
one of the reasons this problem pops up.
Yes, I did try this with my Conterfeit copy of XP PRO.
What can I say...... now I paid for it :)
ps: THE UPDATES STILL WILL NOT LOAD even when SP2 installed.

Check the CD key that is on the installed version. WGA may still be
reading the old "counterfit" code.

If you have any HP printing unit (printer or combo: print-copy-scan) is possible, that installation of HP Status Monitor is incorrect, try reinstall unit software. Recommended full uninstall and cleen install of unit software.

status.msi fix. If you have HP software on your PC (printers etc) load the disc when the pop up window shows a '1' location. Click on Browse and open the HP disc from the CD drive. An icon named status should show up . Click on this icon and load. This will get rid of the status.msi loop

Thanks! It was the HP program causing this. I put the disk in and it cleared the problem up.

Happy it worked for you

I am glad I found this forum, I inserted the HP disk and hey presto everything worked.
Many thanks.

Glad I could help

Your suggestion of using HP printer installation CD helped. Simple solution.
Thank you very much.

I have an authentic disk supplied by the manufacturer of my laptop - I still get this message constantly since rebuilding my computer. Now what?

You get *what* message?

At what point do you get the message?

Exactly what do you mean by "rebuilding my computer"?

Did you get the message before rebuilding the computer?

Exactly what disk is the "authentic disk" you mention? How is that
related to your problem?

Uninstall HP Photosmart All-In-One Driver Software program and HP Update program - then reinstall only the HP Photosmart All-In-One Driver Software. Do not update, just live with it. The web link for the Full Feature software download is given below.
