Vista - "Reboot Pending" Notifications in XP

I recently did a complete re-installation of my XP OS. Everthing is fine
except when I installed various software. My system is completely up to date
now. I tried to install Nero 8 and repeatedly got notifications telling me
to reboot due to a system wide reboot being necessary. Despite a number of
reboots, the notifications persisted. I eventually managed to install this
particular software due to being presented with an "Ignore" option. This
worked for Nero but I have similar notifications when installing some Serif
software. The software is fine on other computers. So my system is
repeatedly notifying me of a "Reboot Pending" when installing software. This
is clearly a system problem as opposed to the particular software I own.

Any Ideas? Any help appreciated. I have SP3, Registry Mechanic, AVG
(Licensed) and the computer works flawlessly except for this one problem.

I have been wondering whether this could be something to do with the Hotfix
for KB942288 associated with windows installer? I tried to uninstall the
hotfix but XP warns me that some programs may not work. I was hoping to
uninstall it and let microsoft update reinstall.
