buy a license from microsoft web sites or reload xp with service pack 1 and don't install updates

Once you do get rid of the little blue star icon and the nagging reminders, turn off automatic updates and get your windows updates elsewhere otherwise it might be a bit more difficult to get rid of next time

When you've fixed the problem you can still install windows updates.

Go to the windows security in control panel and choose the option to download updates but notify me before installation. Then you choose custom installation which basically lets you decide which updates you do or don't want to install. Uncheck the Genuine Advantage tool and choose never to remind you again option.

try and obtain a key from someone?
maybe a PC's OEM sticker in your work office (if you work in an office)
and then use Magic Jellybean (you can google for it) to manually change the key to the new one
