OK .. usially when u have a new PC and just installed a new Windows .. it will ask u to activate it .. ither online or by calling Microsoft guys .. it will give u like 30 days .. i guess u didn't activate it ..
have a look at this link .. will describes how to activate your copy of Windows XP by using the Internet, a modem, or by phone.

You must have updated one thing or the other. Open window in safe mode(press F8 repeatedly before windows starts, choose safe mode) Do your system restore to an earlier point. Hope you will be alright.

Welcome to WGA.
What could of happened is someone out there used a keygen & happened to come up with your CD Key, MS computers now see 2 computers out there with the same key, so it flags both as bad.
Your best bet would be contact Microsoft, or your computer manufacture.
