About 2 weeks ago I started getting this message after my computer runs for awhile. This is funny as I purchased and installed an OEM copy of Ultimate about 21/2 years ago. I don't know if I have a virus or just exactly why I started getting this message. Any ideas in getting this annoyance to go away would be appreciated. Thanks softy91

I purchased and installed an OEM copy of Ultimate about 21/2 years ago. TrekDozer is probably right, but if not... Where did you get that copy? You may have been scammed at the time. When you click Start, then right-click on Computer and choose Properties, what Windows edition do you see listed? -Noel
