ok i started it, so i might finitsch it too :D
annnnywayyy. it was a registry problem, while all other registry stuff did not work,
the following happened:
-tried registry cleaners, which did not pull it off
-left the account active, but erased the profile of it,
this did it, but not for long, the prompt was back, but after copying all (unsuspicious)
stuff from the old profile to the new, it was the same
-what finally did it (again) was not britney, but cleanreg, so it was a bent profile,
presumably by the winzip trial 9.0 install
