Can not login due to error 0x80090019 - Validation Issue

Hi!

I got a severe virus infection on an old pc at home, which ofc contains some
cherished family photos and other docs which are important to me..
Now, I've got rid of the virus, I hope, but during testing and finding
solutions to my problem, I had to put the C: drive in another computer for
back-up, as I feared the master disk was about to collapse.. anyway, I can
now access the old system in Safe-mode, but when I try any other
configuration Windows reject login, stating error 0x80090019 - Windows is
unable to validate your copy.. or something..
Is it a simple solution to my problem? I bought and built the computer
myself in 2004 or 2005(?), and I have the original XP-CD, so I know it's a
genuine version.

If anyone answer, pls keep to a basic level, I'm no Wizard..
