Outdoors Invalid XP Pro

Well I built my own computer and when I go to install the windows XP Pro, I get to the 25 character keycode and it tells me "invalid key code". Did I get hosed? Is it that cut-n-dry? I bought an oem vers. online pretty cheap. Came with a pre-install kit. Anything I can do? Man,I'm just dyin' to get this system up. Thanks

if its a corporate disk or somthing, or thats what the key is from, it could cause this.

sp1 editions of winxp do not allow the keys from the first batches of xp corporate (that are known to be used illegally) to be used anymore

you could try the place's tech support

There's a posssibility that the OEM is for a specific PC like a Dell. But in my opinion if you punched in the key that came with the CD it should accept it.

The disc paper container has "Includes Service Pack 1" stickered on it. If that means anything...

Yes, it's really quite simple. Return the invalid one and buy a new one.

I Had A Misprint Once On A Serial Key.
An "8" Looked Like A "B"......
