I was recently updating to wm player 11 and something happened during the wga check and when i restarted my pc i had a pop up window in my system tray saying "unable to complete genuine windows validation". Anyhow, i went back on line and downloaded wmp 11 again and installed the wga check and the player but the pop up is still in my sys tray; i think i should have followed the link in my sys tray because it doesnt work now and im stuck with the pop up.
Anyone know how i can disable it ? which area of my system it resides ? Or which reg entry i can delete to get rid of it ?

I looked in start up but its not in there .

have a look in msconfig/ startup (type in the run box)

Its not in ms config start-up i already checked in there so im thinking it must be a file in sys 32 or summat.

This could happen to anyone if your system crashes during a wga check and you dont follow the link in the balloon. This happens because windows media player has a built in wga check and it now looks like a really bad idea coz unless someone can help me im gonna have to do a fresh install

at least try a last known good configuration in safe mode. its seems that wmp 11 is not installing for you cleanly. if version 10 was ok why fix it if it ain't broken..
