Corrupted files or flawed hardware. Since you say you did the install,
I assume you bought the XP separately as an upgrade or full license.
The Product Key is what you are looking for (organge sticker somewhere
on the XP CD box). They are not listed on the tool you are trying to
use. Thse are Product ID's. But ...you say you have already registered,
so I guess you found it.

Suggest you test your machine to make sure compatible with XP. Tools
available at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/compatibility/default.asp

Try doing a fresh install, including re-formatting the disk. TAke
backups of what files you want to keep.

If it's hardware, you can find tips for how to diagnose on other
postings on this newsgroup.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
