My computer hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall Front Page in a new
hard drive. When I use the CD and I get asked for the product key and I
install it I get the message invalid key althought I am entering the correct
one. How do I overcome this condition?

From exactly where are you getting the product key?

Even though you say you're entering the correct code, there are some
pitfalls to be aware of:

Similar looking characters (which might be confusing because of the font
used to print the code on the orange sticker). The common examples are

b and 6 (lower case 'b' and number '6')
B and 8 (capital 'B' and number '8')
1 and l (number '1' and lower case 'l') - these are the most look-alike and
probably cause the most confusion, depending on the font.

Double check your code carefully.

Pretty sure?
You must be *exactly* sure ;-)

It wouldn't ask for product key -- just try reinstall to another hard drive BUT this time
use ProPlus.msi Icon found inside your CD root. Are you trying to install in Vista PC?
If you make one back-up CD -- try use that (without BIG circular scratches mark).

Hope it works on you as it always works for me ;o)
