Fist of all, is English a second or third language for you? If so,
may I suggest that you try posting your question in a news group
dedicated to your native language? I say this not to insult or offend,
but rather to point out that you're not likely to get much help, if no
one can understand what you're saying.
Otherwise, I'd suggest you start by reposting in standard English,
complete with paragraphs, sentences, capital letters where appropriate,
and punctuation. As it is, your post is quite undecipherable: most of
the words used are from the English language, but they are almost
completely meaningless as currently assembled.
Taking a wild guess:
Use the correct Product Key, to start with. Product Keys are bound
to the specific type and language of CD/license (OEM, Volume, retail,
full, or Upgrade) with which they are purchased. For example, a WinXP
Home OEM Product Key won't work for any retail version of WinXP Home, or
for any version of WinXP Pro, and vice versa. An upgrade's Product Key
cannot be used with a full version CD, and vice versa. An OEM Product
Key will not work to install a retail product. An Italian Product Key
will not work with an English CD. Bottom line: Product Keys and CD
types cannot be mixed & matched.
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> is _off_ while entering the Product Key --
this isn't supposed to make a difference, but I've seen it do so, on
rare occasions.
