If the product key is 25 characters long when you go to
Microsoft Assisted support, the space to type in the
product code is 23 spaces long not 25... will someone
check this out its driving me crazy. I can't get my XP
installed when it gets to the tour I lose my keyboard
which did function to type in my info and the product key
and lose my mouse function. I can't get email support for
this, help!!
 
The Product Key and the Product Code are two different things.
The Product Key (aka, the CD Key) is what you use to install the software.
The Product Code is generated by Windows when you install it.

You can get your product code by right-clicking on My Computer, and choosing
Properties.

The product code is listed in the middle of the window, under the Name and
Company Name you provided during setup. Dashes included, the product code
is 23 characters long.
