activation XP Pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have a PC that my old company gave me with XP on it, I was trying to
install Photo Story3 and the site did a genuine Windows validation and it
came back with the key is on MS do not use list. I have a new PK from the
same company but when I try to run the activation it is saying (alraedy
activation) How can I replace the bad PK with the good one I have?
