Sounds like you may have a virus or trojan.  Some cause pop ups that say things like that.  GIve your system a good scan with 3 or 4 differnent types.

A windows update has updated this new Security feature that requires that check now.\n\nI would try and uninstall that update through your Add/Remove Programs on your control panel. If you cant remove it, then you might just have to install Windows again and make sure you omit that part of the update next time.\n\nIt is a growing problem, but I have a XP CD that I have used on several of my computers and Ill be damned if I have to buy a CD for EACH of my computers just to reinstall XP. I get that nag screen all the time, but I had to reinstall windows and omit that update. \n\nYou can still get other updates even if you dont update that part of the updates.

The best option is to reinstall.  Uninstall through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and then install with the latest version.

I run all the same programs. First log onto Windows up date and make sure you have ALL of the available updates for XP(especially the security ones,you may be surprised if there are a lot).You may have to disable Adware to do this. Then make sure you are running Nortons fire wall and not the Windows default firewall(this is usually done automatically upon Norton set-up). Make sure you run live update on Norton Program every day that you log on to the internet. Do not trust Any Auto up-date programs! Run A full virus scan manually now and no less than once per week. Then see about reloading your set-up program. If this does not work, Try resetting your computer to the very first day you installed XP and repeat the above procedures. Somewhere, something in your setup program has been removed. If you continue to have this problem, E-mail Microsoft's Help Desk. GOOD LUCK!

Are you using a Valid copy of Windows XP?  Where did you buy the computer?  Remember, the computer is just an invention, and it is not part of your whole life.  You also probably need to reinstall Win XP.

is it just sp2 you are trying to install or the whole operating system?If it just trying to upgrade from sp1 to sp2 and you are having errors then its more than likely you are not using a legit copy of WinXP.Do you have the sticker with the serial number for your WinXP?You can just go to Windows Updates and download the sp2 but be warned if you are on dial up this will be a huge download.Until recently Microsoft had a link on their website where you could leave your address details and they would mail you out a copy of sp2.Now you have to ring them direct and ask for a copy to be mailed to you.Alternatively you could go to your closest computer service shop and ask them to burn you a copy of sp2.A good shop should only charge a small fee for this service

Make sure you have the latest service pack for windows, go here to check:\n\nhttp://update.microsoft.com\n\nAlso; are you using enough memory?  If you click control + alt + delete,  check out your total memory and what you have available.  If you're running short, it may be time to upgrade.

You need to agree to them checking your windows is a genuine version before you can load updates.  If it is genuine you have nothing to fear ... if you don't agree then you wont get the updates which is a risk.

do a windows xp INPLACE UPGRADE..\n\nAKA windows xp repair.  boot from cd.. (DONT GOTO THE RECOVERY CONCSOLE) when the list of windows comes up choose the option to repair it.

You probably need to uninstall the old version first.\nGo into Start, Control Panel, find current programme listed, and delete.\nYou should then be able to install new version.

it sounds like you are trying to 'UPGRADE' to win xp.\n\nThe PC is still trying to boot to the former OS it sounds like.\n\ninsert the XP disk, re-boot, make sure it is set to boot from CD.  When prompted to 'install' or 'repair', Press 'R' for repair.\n\nthen it will desplay 2 windows installations, press the number that corresponds to the XP installaton, then enter.\nit should then ask for the Administrator password, just press enter.\n\nat the dos prompt type: 'fixboot' (no quotes,) then enter\nit will ask you to confirm....say yes.\n\nwhen the prompt returns, type: 'fixmbr' (again, no quotes,) then enter.\nConfirm it again...yes\n\nremove the CD, type 'exit', then enter.\n\nThat should do it.

Have you got system restore enabled and also have you got a system restore point for the date when you first got it ?\n\nIf not then the only way would be to use the recovery disc(s) or the windows xp disc and re install the operating system from scratch ( Obviously MAKE SURE to back up any data you have that you want to keep ) before you carry out this procedure.\n\nIf you need any other help please post back.

XP W/ SP 2 IS ACTUALLY (man, that's annoying) quite stable.  With problems like that I'd try reinstalling Windows--this'll give you a fresh install and wipe out stuff running in the background.  If same thing happens with fresh install you probably have a hardware problem.

Try Microsoft updates.
