Activate it? I'm not seeing the problem...
All it means is that xp has noticed a change in your pcs configuration and wants to make that this licence is only used on 1 machine (it will just update it's configuration datbase), just use the online activation, no worries.
ok now i seen to have left it a wee bit to long it will not let me log in is there an alternative
it should let you

If it says you are unable to activate it online, it's probably Microsoft playing it safe, or your using an illegal key.
If you are using a legal key, dial the freephone number you get from the activation wizard and the automated system will ask you along the lines of "Is this for a new PC press 1, or if you have reinstalled press 2" and it will provide you with the activation key.
