Hi
I installed Windows XP a week ago. Now I get an advertisement in my face for a DVD player or something in the windows help and support center everytime I llog in. How do I stop this irritating message ? If I want a DVD player I am well able to find and install it myself

I do not appreciate this kind of adverting harassment with a product I have actually purchased

You might also check that you have a firewall enabled, either XP's own
