More info about my problem (stopping a LiveupDate request at bootup):
Windows Task Manager says that there is an application called LiveupDate
running when the DVD burner registration request is on-screen.
Right-clicking on this application and selecting "go to process," I see
that the process is FWManager.exe. This does not appear in any Startup
folder for any user account.
Searching with Google, not much appears -- the best is at
http://pcpitstop.com/spycheck/SWList.asp?pg=23&st=0, but this doesn't
tell me how to remove it.
I found it using MSconfig, and have removed it from the startup menu. I
will now see if this works -- if not, I am at a loss.

Users and Administrator, and do not find this program there.
The program executes about 60 seconds after bootup is completed.

Have PC with Windows XP Home. Installed a new external DVD burner.
There is a "Liveupdate" item that appears whenever I boot up that
requests registration info to be sent for the burner. The problem is
that when I fill in the info and click to register, an error message
appears that "user registration is failed." Thus, I can't register and
the registration window reappears at each reboot.
How can I erase the appearance? BTW, "LiveupDate" is the name that
appears in the taskbar for the registration item.
