XP Pro did NOT WPA, have an OEM product key number, but it will also not WGA

Yes, I got the dreaded no past WGA logo on a WIN xp PRO installation which is an authentic copy of HP (OEM). I tried ALL the usual suspects of MS to do accept and it simply won't. I get the message "the product could not be updated on your computer. This is perhaps due to technical difficulties or problems with network connectivity. Please contact Microsoft Support for further assistance. "I have and that's why I found myself here as usual because the site is for me simply a roundabout! It does not matter where to get on I get off at the same places!

So basically I think I'm wrong in saying we CAN change via the Regsitry key? BUT how is that what an all-round solution? Because HP is going because MS offer ANY help at all with an OEM product!

Please someone help please?
