If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, the Windows Validation Assistant can scan your product key to help you determine whether your computer’s operating system is genuine.

From what you said here:
hey for the direct x 9.0c it won't let me downloaded unless i have some kind of key thingy and that cost like 134 dollars >.< so wut do i do now?
as well as not being able to use Windows Update I am lead to believe that you do not have a valid copy of XP.
If this is the case we cannot help you here. Sorry
Illegal copies of Windows
You need to spend the like $134 for a valid copy.
