Erika, everyone needs a license to use Windows XP. If you were not
previously asked to enter a license key it's because the OEM (the
company that assembled your computer) installed a licensed copy of
Windows on your computer.

Your problem is due to error codes in third-party software, as discussed
here:

"You may receive error code 0x80004005 or other error codes when you try
to start a Windows XP-based computer"
