Remind_XP error message in startup

I have a new Computer with XP Media Edition OS. Every time I boot up, when
my Windows Desktop screen launches I receive the following error message:
"Remind_XP.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience."

Remind_XP.exe is located in Windows\creator\ which is apparently the Windows
generic CD creator folder.

Using REGEDIT I found the offending line in the registry.

Question: What is the cause of this error message, and will removing this
line in the registry solve my problem?

If it's new, I wouldn't bother to trouble shoot it myself, I'd take it back
and tell them to replace it with one that works correctly on boot up. Or
give me a full refund so I can go elsewhere.
