Call them up and activate it that way.
They'll just ask for your number, and give an autherization number you enter in.
Super simple, all automated.

The problem is that ANY Key only has a set number of times it can be activated. You have reached that limit. So either you call or you reinstall XP and use it again for another 30 days.

Is surprised me that you waited this long to activate windows. Activating windows is like one of the first things I do shortly after getting all my drivers installed.
Some times, the Windows Activation service gets congested or it goes down. If that is the case, just call up MS and active it over the phone. After all, we are using a LEGIT KEY. Or is there some thing else that you are not telling us?

It literally takes a minute to call the free number and activate it, you got nothing to worry about if your key is legit.
