Microsoft Genuine
 
To start this, after I arrived home from school, I opened my computer and suddenly, this Microsoft Genuine popped-up saying my computer might be -forgot what it said-...

What do I need to do?
I remembered my dad's computer had this problem once and after a few days his computer isn't working anymore...

it means your copy of windows XP is a fake/pirated copy and you can either buy a legit copy or find another way to get rid of that message(and I won't be mentioning how to do that)

so I guess I've been scammed, huh?
*sigh*

yep, if you still have the installation disc, I think clicking that button that appears takes you to a page and one of the links say you can send the disc in to get a legit copy for free or something, I forget

I would seriously consider reporting whatever the company you retrieved this computer from because I'm assuming you went to the same place to get both your computer and your fathers. Because if this happened before, clearly it's coming from the distributor of the computer. Unless you got this from an individual.. which I wouldn't suggest unless you decide to remove the partitions and install a clean operating system onto the computer (depending on what it can support).

If this is a legitimate copy, you bought with the computer, and the computer was bought from a major manufacturer, call Microsoft ASAP and they can help you.

If an "friend" put it on, your out of luck. Sorry.
