GHOST 14 System Tray Icon says "At Risk"

I've been running GHOST 14 for over a year.  Some problems, but generally OK.

 

Recently (in the last week, or so), when I start-up my computer (Toshiba laptop, Win XP SP3), the GHOST icon in the System Tray/Status Notification Area shows a "red-x" over GHOST -- with the "mouse-over" message saying: "Norton GHOST Status: At Risk."

 

However, if I execute/bring-up GHOST, it shows to be fine -- status is "Protected."

 

I've done several "Repair," Uninstall/Reinstall, etc, attempts from the GHOST CD.  Nothing works.  Same problem comes back.

 

I'm concerned about the recoverability of my HDD -- and GHOST, in general.

 

Appreciate any ideas.

 

Kind Regards,

Robby
