If the windows came with your laptop, that is your code, and you own it.

When it asks you to put in a new code, select an option to call and confirm your key instead. Going through the phone method, you will complete it in one of two ways:

1) You use the automated method, put your old code in, to confirm it. Once confirmed, it will give you a confirmation key, which you type into your laptop.

2) Option 1 fails, and you talk to somebody. You explain your situation, and they should help you from there.

What Orko already said. Just call the phone number listed and MS will fix the issue for you if your key isn't working.

Yeah, this happens with xp after a certain amount of reinstalls/major hardware changes too.

i think he's talking about the dvd software not the xp cd key.

perhaps the dvd software that came with your laptop was only a trial version? Or maybe you are doing something with your dvd player/burner that you shouldn't be doing? i don't know..to me it sounds like a trial version of the dvd software.
