I need help. I can't get my version of windows xp pro to
accept the key code. I don't know what I am going
wrong. Is there anyone out there that might be able to
give me some help. I have read the previous responses and
they don't help. What should I do next?

If it was a Retail copy and you have proof of the purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact whomever sold you the
OS; although very few manufacturers/vendors keep records of the
Product Keys they've sold, it's worth a try before you have to buy a
new license.

Is XP still installed?

Try AIDA:

Or try Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder:

Provide a link to the thread with those previous responses so we don't
duplicate them here again.

Call Microsoft to get them to issue you a new product code. Obviously they
will require you to provide some proof that you have a legit copy of
Windows.
 
Greetings --

You need to examine the Product Key very carefully. It's awfully
easy to mistake a "B" for an "8," a "G" for a "6," an "S" for a "5,"
or a "Q" for a "0" or "O." Fortunately, Microsoft had the good sense
to leave the "1's," "I's," "O's," and "0's" out of the equation.
Also, be sure that your CapsLock if _off_ while entering the Product
Key.

The 25 character key is case sensitive. Are you sure you are using caps
where needed? Look closely at the key, some characters are difficult to
distinguish from others, "O" and "0", for instance. Try having someone else
read the key to you, no offence intended there.
