If this is a fully registerd version of XP . So its strange you shoud have this message.

We are working in the registry , if you are not mess up you can cause your system to crash.

This modification is done at your own risk.
Try modify:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop"
Locate the DWORD value "PaintDesktopVersion".
- "0" removes Windows version from desktop.
- "1" adds Windows version to desktop.
Reboot
