What reason did they give? Is this key that you are trying to use from another computer?
They must have given some reason as to why.

Do a google search on "product activation+xp" and you will find a site that will
answer your query.

You have several options, depending on your situation:
If you knowingly used a pirated copy of XP, then you
must buy a copy: activation is intended precisely to
enforce this.
If you innocently bought a high-quality pirated copy,
then read this:
To help customers who unknowingly purchased a counterfeit version of Windows XP,
Microsoft has created two genuine Windows offers for those who qualify:
* Complimentary offer: Microsoft will make a complimentary copy of Windows XP
available to customers who have been sold counterfeit Windows. Customers will be
required to submit a proof of purchase, the counterfeit CD, and a counterfeit report
with details of their purchase. Only high-quality counterfeit Windows will qualify
for the complimentary offer.
* Electronic License Key Offer: Microsoft will offer an alternative for customers
who find out via the WGA validation process that they are not running genuine Windows,
but do not qualify for, or choose not to take advantage of, the complimentary offer.
These customers will be able to license a Windows Genuine Advantage Kit for Windows
XP online for a price of $99 for Windows XP Home edition or $149 for Windows XP Professional.
The Windows Genuine Advantage Kit for Windows XP will include a new 25-character
Product Key and a Windows Product Key Update tool that will allow customers to convert
their counterfeit copy to genuine Windows XP electronically. To qualify, customers
will be required to submit an online counterfeit report.
[from here]
If your circumstances are such that you consider yourself
entitled to use your copy of XP, then you must convince
Microsoft of that: nobody else can help you without violating
the law.
