I am having a problem reinstalling Windows XP Home on an Evesham Notebook. The notebook was purchased new from Evesham and came with a Recovery CD-ROM.
I am having a problem with the XP product key (I am using the product key off the sticker on the base of the notebook). When I enter this key it I get a notification that the key is not valid.
Any advice please?

I have seen this with a batch of Dell laptops we bought in once. The OEM cancelled and if I remember correctly is was a corporate edition xp pro but as enigma52 mentioned, Telephone registration sorted this out.Computers are like me, I get up in the morning and work...until I stop.0
