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 ----------- if you know what letter is
wrong great if you have a working CD key great. I have 23
days left.

Idiot! Since you've sold it and no longer own a license to operate the SW,
I'm glad it screwed on you. Using it would be piracy anyway, so you want to
consider what happens to illegals pirating MS products.
Also you've just placed what might well be the actual key in the open, in
public, for all to see and steal. And I'm damned sure not going to let you
pirate MY key!
