If you have a valid Windows XP Licence Key you can phone a toll free / freephone number and get a code from Microsoft to put in at the activation screen.

.... Failing that there is a less morale route you can take ....

Seach Google for WPAKill (I believe version 3 maybe the latest). Startup in Safe Mode by continuously pressing F8 at start up, which will take you to the advanded startup menu. When In Safe Mode run WPAKill and then startup as normal.

Stupidity, to the enth degree. Who knows what malware is lurking in one of those 'things'.

You should know better, IMO.
