no i used the "custom install" option, i only install what i want installed, all of these useless IE, and outlook updates i dont bother with, i never use IE, or outlook, and i dont want this useless "genuin check" program in my computer, space is a at a premium right now in my computer

Used space: 41.7gb

Free space: 23.0gb

Capacity: 64.7gb

10 gigs of my hard drive is going to linux, thats why its not  74.7 gb

robpmeroy, i believe i have legitimate copy of Windows.  How do i verify this?  i also have 2 symbols on my computer screen that say "Genuine Check"----can I delete one of the two so it is not taking up space on my pc?  am i required to keep both?  if i remove 1 of 2 Genuine Check do i remove it under the "add or remove programs?  i am perplexed why genuine check does not show up on the list of programs on my pc---is this where it should show up?   than k you for your help, dede

Go to this link and there is info there ........
You may in fact have a original M/S win XP disk , however , it is subject to a number of things ....... for example ...... unless you have a licence for mult machines , it is only to be installed on one pc .  So if say your father had a original legit XP cd and it's installed on his machine , you cannot legally install it on yours ....... Or if you had made major changes to your pc that requires a format and a reinstall and you did have a real XP cd , you would probably have to contact M/S as it would probably fail the GWA test .  Then there is the possibility that with all the pirated copies out there , that the key generators that are included with some of them , have replicated your legal product code .
So , if you are really concerned , contact MicroSoft and plead your case .

robpomery:  part of my question was:

I have 2 symbols on my computer screen that say "Genuine Check"----can I delete one of the two so it is not taking up space on my pc?  am i required to keep both?  if i remove 1 of 2 Genuine Check do i remove it under the "add or remove programs?

can you advise on this?  thanks

You can try it. At the most you would have to talk to Microsoft, but if it is, in fact, legitimate that should not be a problem.

genuine check does not show up as a program listed on my computer.  i did search & found it is an application on my c drive & is shown twice, each one 520 kb in size.  how would i properly remove one or both?

I think only Microsoft can help you with this. There are some licensing issues.
