Hi Sean.
Windows should provide you with a phone number to call to activate. Call
this number, and follow the instructions given to you.

If you have any problems, please post back.

There are only two (2) methods to activate Windows XP:

1) via the internet

2) via the telephone

I suggest you select the option to "activate by telephone".
When you select this option, a list of toll-free numbers should
appear.

Run activation again. Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools
- Activate Windows

If it does not activate on the net (And it likely will, unless you
*have* been making a lot of hardware changes and it is less than 120
days since you did it before) you will have to phone in to swap one long
number for another.
