Invariably I am being prompted to install a critical update designed to apply
the Windows Genuine Advantage tool which. Intstallation after downloading
invariably fails because however fails the utility has already been installed
more than 1 year ago according to the reading on my control panel.

Please advise how I can get rid of this prompt or disable it?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2) when
posting to this newsgroup.

Are you referring to KB905474?
