If win was supplied with the laptop the key is for that laptop installation
of win, and cannot be transferred to a new PC
So if you want a key, you will have to buy a full winxp cd

I wanted to run a capture card on my computer and try as I might I
could not get ubuntu to work so I went back to windows. The problem is
I must have copied the cd key incorrectly from the laptop before I
sold it and I can't get it registered. I am sure that some letter is
wrong here DK7JPVPV6HD8VJFCGHGCMT46Y if you know what letter is wrong
great if you have a working CD key great. I have 23 days left.
