on boot up that there only so many days till activation
but when you click to activate it says that windows is
already activated. now we are down to 0 days and i cant
get past the activation loop.

Hi Jim,

I'm sorry that happened to you.

At this point you will probably need to call Microsoft to manually
re-activate your Windows XP product. Fortunately toll-free telephone
numbers are available in all countries. The telephone numbers to call are
displayed in the activation screen when 'Telephone Activation' is chosen.
