I recently formatted and reloaded Windows XP Prof and now
it asks me for the cd key ... it says it does not
recognize the cd key or when I call for the product ID it
says it does not recognize this. what do I do to activate.
Yes I paid for the program from Best Buy last year.
 
Greetings --

You need to examine the Product Key very carefully. It's
awfully easy to mistake a "B" for an "8," a "G" for a "6," an "S" for
a "5," or a "Q" for a "0" or "O." Fortunately, Microsoft had the good
sense to leave the "1's," "I's," "O's," and "0's" out of the equation.
Also, be sure that your CapsLock if _off_ while entering the Product
Key.
