Windows Genuine Advantage Notification Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with windows XP Pro (SP2) and all of the
current MS Security updates. However, each time I go to the Microsoft
Update web site I see the need for the Windows Genuine Advantage
Notification (KB905474) to be downloaded and installed. I have done this at
least two times but it still has not helped. It appears that I have had a
successful install because in the system folder of the event viewer, there
is any entry that states the following:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Windows Update Agent
Event Category: Installation
Event ID: 19
Date: 5/28/2006
Time: 1:02:36 PM
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXXXX
Description:
Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following
update: Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)


I should note that I purchased my computer new from Dell and still have the
windows XP Pro CD. Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem would be
very much appreciated. Thanks, Sam.
