It won't let me update. Says I don't have an original copy of XP on my computer

That means the Microsoft Authentication Software thinks you have a pirated copy of Windows XP on your machine.

Could be you have an OEM version installed when you bought your computer. If so they should update it. Otherwise you'll have to buy a copy. I suspect that a lot of the "problems" MS is coming up with now is just an excuse to get in your computer to see if you are legit.
