    I never heard this happen to somebody check the key carefully IT should
    work you must be typing incorrectly.

    Worst case scenario you would have to contact microsoft for a new key !!!

    Sometimes 8's could look like B's. I've ran into this issue before in the past.

    Also, are ye using your Dell cd? Or some other OEM cd? Or is this a retail cd that you bought from the store?

    So, you re-installed xp. Is windows up, running, and waiting for you to activate? Or is this during the install process, that the key is not working?
