Authentication at startup

[sjeans]

Good day,
My problem is with the Authentication at startup. I have verified my
Windows XP Pro, a few days ago But now everytime I start my comp. it is
there again. Is there anyway of disabling it.
Thanks in advance for your help

Sjeans,

Do you mean the activation wizard or the genuine advantage tool?

Thanks SPAMCOP, for your quick response
That would be the genuine advantage tool, I didn't mention that I've had
this computer for about 4 Years and I did at that time authenticated the
Windows.
This new problem just happened about a week ago. I thought maybe it was a
security measure. So I took the steps to authenticate my Windows XP Pro again.
