I have PowerDVD 8 installed on my system (running Windows XP).

I keep getting the dialog pop-up that says there is a patch that I need to download. I have did this once before and it caused all manner of problems (problems I didn't have before I patched).

I have now done a fresh re-install and need to know how to remove this annoying pop-up that prompts me to download the patch. There is no option in the settings menu itself so if I need to edit a system file, I'm willing to do that.

I have already tried just clicking on it and then not downloading the patch but the notice regenerates after awhile.

Thanks!

I'm sure there is some way to do this in the registry, or to restrict a program in the PowerDVD folder. Sometimes there is a separate upgrade program that runs in the background. It constantly checks for new patches. Maybe, if there is such a program, it can be disabled.
