   Win XP says my install CD is not valid   
   21 Jan 11 09:57:36   
   
   I had to reinstall Win XP.  The dang validity check kept telling me   
   that my registration key for the Win XP Install CD was no good.  I   
   bought the Win XP CD along with my new comp about a year ago. It *is*   
   the install CD  that installed the original Win XP on my machine.  The   
   key sticker is right on the side of the comp's case.  How in the hell   
   can MS  tell me the CD key is not correct?   
      
   Has anyone else had this problem?   
      
   (I should *never* have trusted Redmond by installing that "validity"   
   check crap on my machine.)
