| 433890 | 2006-02-26 00:01:00 | Hi, After trying to install windows xp and entering the 25 character product key, I receive the following error The product ID which you entered is invalid please try again Which I did but to no avail My pc was manufactured by The pc company, so no great support there. Unless I should just bif it in the bin and purchase another cd and start from scratch. Any thoughts? |

| 433891 | 2006-02-26 00:13:00 | Is it the original CD that came with the machine? | bartsdadhomer (80) | ||
| 433892 | 2006-02-26 00:42:00 | if your sure your tyrpign it in correctly and it still doesnt work id just get a pirated serial from a shady website since you legitimatly own a copy of windows, its your right to install it etc... | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 433893 | 2006-02-26 00:45:00 | Have another read of the rules, Mirddes. :groan: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 433894 | 2006-02-26 00:46:00 | Have you type the product key correctly?? | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 433895 | 2006-02-26 01:05:00 | Look carefully for numbers which are actually letters or vice versa. O,0; l,1; S,5; B,8; Z,2 ... etc. I find it helps to write down the code in good big legible form; it's a bit hard to type correctly with your head sideways alongside the case. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 433896 | 2006-02-26 04:34:00 | Yep, its the original cd that came with the pc. And yep, Ive typed product key correctly. | Flexilla (9870) | ||
| 433897 | 2006-02-26 04:40:00 | Have another read of the rules, Mirddes. :groan: sorry, but i was just saying what i woudl do and i also didnt give specific directions on how to aquire said serial number, just 'some shady website'. pretty vauge if you ask me. |

| 433898 | 2006-02-26 04:40:00 | You are using the product key that is on the Microsoft COA sticker stuck on the side of your computer case? Is this a complete reformat and reinstall you are doing, or did you do a restore? |

| 433899 | 2006-02-26 08:29:00 | I copied the exact product key thats on the microsoft sticker. Yep, I want to do a complete reformat and reinstall. Just bring it back the way it was and super squeeky clean. | Flexilla (9870) | ||
