a) If the license key from the license sticker stuck to the side of the box
is not being accepted then either you are missreading the number / letters
(watch for B's that look like 8's) or you copy of XP is very screwed up.
Solution: use a magnifying glass to check the numbers/letters or backup your
data and do a clean install of XP.

b) If the 'Activation' process says your licence key is invalid, then ring
Microsoft for a new activation key. The number to ring should show up on the
screen after the failed activation attempt.
