XP activation

[PCtoMAC?]

Hey guys

Got a problem here. I got XP installed on my MBP everything went really well but now i need to activate and for some reason its not accepting my CD key. i bought this copy of XP back in 2004 and I am sure that the CD key that I have is correct. I tried to go through Microsoft but from what I can tell they want 60 bucks to help me out. Any recomendations or advice? I've only got 19 days left before it shuts me out!

I guess no one has advice...

There are a lot of things that bug me about this situation but the one big one is that it seems impossible to even get contact info from Microsoft! All I want to do is talk to someone about my situation and aparently that is just a little to much to ask.

Since my legit XP CD key apparently doesn't work I guess I'll have to by ANOTHER copy of XP. If it weren't for all the money I have already spent on games that only run on windows I would never use windows again.
