If I recall correctly, the Sasser worm revoked the administrative properties of the administrator(s) (along with taking control over ACPI and local policies AND exploiting lssas.exe). I would check your machine for infections. Also, follow the 5 steps in the security forum of this board. Also, is your copy of Windows XP actually legal? If it is, you shouldn't have a problem validating Windows. You should glide right through it... Try the ownership fix before attempting any other drastic measures, though.
