What if my time to activate the windows is up?

i got a windows installed on my computer and this annoying windows activation keeps popping up whenever i start my computer. But i kept ignoring it, first because whenever i said yes, activate windows, it said "this windows is already activated, click ok to exit" and i did and it was good to go. It would keep on doing the same thing but keep asking me to activate because i got so many days left. Now that there are no more days left, it is doing the same thing except that whenever i press "ok" to exit, it logs me out of my computer and i can't do a thing!!!! I am wondering if i can reinstall my windows again, if that will solve the problem..

Is this a copy of XP that you have installed on another pc?  Unlike previous version 
of Windows XP will only let you install it on one machine.  If you want it on a second 
machine, you need a second Key.  If it is one you purchased separately, I would go 
back to whomever sold it to you and get an explanation.

unfortunately you need a different key, or a different copy, theres nothing "legal" you can do to bypass that...

As asked in my first reply, is this a copy that has been installed on another computer?
