Too quick message to be read

I assist a friend with his genuine Windows XP Home Edition computer, assuring
all the updates are done and the Antivrus and Antyspyware programs are
regularly run; I was unable to help him on this: from some time a very quick
message (with sound) appears low on the screen at irregular intervals. It is
impossible to read the message because of the short permanency. I checked the
Events logs and the message is not related to any system logged event.
Changing the System Notification sound I made sure it is a System
Notification message but I was unable to understand from which
application/service it comes from. I tried to stop many programs from the
Task manager, without success. Any idea helpful to identify the source please?

A utility like PView, or Process Explorer might trace the event for you.
Process Explorer for Windows v10.21:
