windows xp professional activation

[Guest]

I bought a new computer about 4 months ago that came with windows xp pro
installed on it. it also came with a recovery cd that is basicly windows xp
pro. I have reformated my computer 5-10 times. Now when I go to activate my
computer I get this error. Message number:45092. According to our records,
the number of times you can activate windows with this product kew has been
exceeded. So what do you suggest that I do.
