Unable to reinstall my XP Pro original cd, windows says its not legitimate.

Due to a bad virus, I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro and now I can't activated because it says that its not legitimate.  I've had this since XP came out and had an XP update cd that has been stollen from me but I still have the original xp cd.  Support is not available for this moment and I don't want to spend the money to upgrade to 7 or buy a new computer.  My husband uses it just to check his sometimes (rarely) to yahoo mail and research.  It has not even service pack 1 on it and I can not download because it says that it is not authentic, and I know very well that it is but I can't prove it because the recipes are long gone.  Someone at - it suggestions?  Please? It is not just that they make it to where you can buy new softwear or a new computer.  It still works very well.  Thank you, everyone. I have another pc I use and also a laptop.  It's my husband and he only of e-mail and will be submitted to a Web site when someone sends something to look at.
