Windows Genuine Advantage Notification question

[ECLiPSE 2002]

Often when I boot up and Windows XP Home Ed. opens, I get a popup that
says the following:


Windows Genuine Advantage Notification has encountered a problen and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Error Signature
AppName:wgatray AppVer: 1.7.17.0 ModName: licdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0005c811

Fortunately this has only happened at boot up so I have not lost any
work or data that I was working on.

Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening, and is there a
fix?

Thanks,

Frank

Why did you upgrade to internet explorer 7 and windows media player 11
for?

Thanks to all responders for their input. I apparently do not have the
pilot version of Windows Genuine Advantage as described at the
Microsoft website. I have the release version (1.7.0017.0) and yes I
did update to WMP 11 and IE 7. Apparently that was a no no!

Guess I will be living with another Microsoft software annoyance.
