Whom did you get your computer fixed by? Was it a friend....or a professional?
Did this person reinstall Windows?

Sounds like you don't have a genuine copy of Windows XP.
Take it back and get a genuine copy installed and a new repair shop (or friend).

i went to the website and this is what is says:
The Windows product key installed on this computer is a Volume License Key (VLK) that has been blocked. A VLK is typically licensed to organizations that want to use multiple copies of Windows. However, if a VLK is reported as stolen or leaked, it is blocked from passing validation and is not considered genuine.
You or your organization may be a victim of software counterfeiting if:
you received a computer with a VLK, but you do not have a Volume License Agreement with Microsoft, or
your organization purchased a VLK from a 3rd party but does not have a Volume License Agreement with Microsoft.
what do i do the guy that did the computer wont answer

when you did the validation did you get to this page http://www.microsoft...fc-68cb352a150c ? if not...this might help...does your computer still have the COA sticker (the sticker with the original license key?) if it does you can use the first link to put that key back onto your windows install....if not...then you'll need to use some of the other links to contact microsoft

Unlikely you will get an XP Home key to run on an XP Pro install
If you have access to an XP Home CD and the sticker on the PC is for Home (hope he didn't change that also) then you can recover from it, a complication is if there is data you need on the PC
