Unable to activate XP product key

Computer with Windows XP Media Center 2005.  It work yesterday and got a message saying: "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on."  Tried to activate the wizard activate over the internet.  Tells me that the product key is not allowed.  Tried to activate by ' phone.  Tells me that they are unable to activate the product and put an end to my call.

I contacted the manufacturer of the computer (Packard Bell).  They tell me that this is a problem with the operating system.

I use this computer for several years with no problems and was never asked to activate before.

What can I do?

    HELP, I recently changed my motherboard in my dell 490 accuracy now my windows activation is indicating that I need to activate my product key. I have been using this product key for now.need some time to get this problem is resolved.

    Hello

    You cannot change your motherboard without the approval and assistance from Dell

    read this:

    If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer

    an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life

    When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you

    If you did this Dell wihtout support and approval, you have cancelled your vista license

  • Reformatted and cannot activate the product key.

    I recently bought a new hard drive and installed vista on it successfully, updated and, next week, that my Board came out, so I replaced everything. To do this, I had to reformat the hard drive even once, when updates were completed I had trouble getting my video card drivers installed, still not able to do. Went to activate my product key due to be recalled by pop up, trying to activate it says my key is in use already, but I just reformatted my drive.

    You can reactivate your Windows Vista installation by doing the following:

    1. click on the Start button and in the box, type search: slui.exe 4

    2. press the Enter key on your keyboard.

    3 select your country.

    4 follow the instructions for the activation of the telephone (toll-free).

    NOTE: When you call this number, you will first hear an automated voice. If the automated voice gives you an option to talk to a
    Live the Rep of Activation, select this option. If this is not the case, do not enter all the numbers. This should force the automated voice transfer
    an Activation Rep. Live trying to activate through the automated voice won't work, in your case, only through the Live Activation Rep
    your activation will be successful.
