Microsoft Activation Error

Question
-
About a week ago I've been getting an error every time I start up windows XP professional. The error message reads: "Your copy of Microsoft windows XP with expire in X amount of days." I've already activated windows, so I dont know how this is a problem. I then went to the support section for this type of error, and both solutions listed did not fix the problem.
Any help would be great!

Blackcell,
Please follow these steps for assistance:
Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread. The report does not release any personally identifiable information and does obscure the XP installation's Product Key.
Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). If you have one, tell us about the COA. Tell us:
1. What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?
2. Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?
3. Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?
4. DO NOT post the Product Key on the CoA to the forum.

Yep, I am. But the product key that I have has been used past its limit so I cannot activate windows over the internet I need to do it over the phone.
