Contact Microsoft and Validate it.

If it previously was pirated you can get a legit copy with discounts for being a student. Most of Microsoft software has educational discounted versions.

Good time to learn the "right" way to buy software and hardware.

Buy a legitimate copy and stop using the priated one or call Microsoft to obtain a new key and rat out where you got the pirated copy from. That simple.

Does your compuiter have the COA, Certificate of Authenticity, attached to it?

Does the COA label match the version of Windows installed on your computer?

If yes contact Microsoft at the number provided and give them your information. They will help you.

If your COA says Windows XP Home and your computer is running Windows XP Professional, then your Windows is priated and therefore it is NOT genuine.

Reload it using the disk(s) provided with or created when you first setup your computer.

You DID create the system restore disks. Didn't you?
