    I recently had to reinstall vista. (F11)
    I did register again but now I have this message coming up every 10 minutes:
    "Register your PC to maximize your ownership and support expreience"
    I have registered 20 times already but it won’t stop.
    Where could I disable that?

    go into "msconfig" and disable it in the "start up" tab

    look for something that makes you register or something
