|I have the problem described in KB article 266668, "Add/Remove Programs
tool
| displays installed programs incorrectly." The described fix requires that
I
| run Winnt32.exe from the Win2k installation CD. When I try, I'm prompted
for
| the CD key. When I enter the key, I get "The CD Key which you entered is
| invalid. Please try again."
|
| I get this no matter what key I enter, and no matter which CD I use. I've
| used the original CD that came with the Dell Optiplex and CDs borrowed
from
| other people, but no success. I've double-checked the obvious stuff
(zeros
| vs. "O"s, etc.), used the CD key that Win2k says it's using, and used the
CD
| key printed on the CD case, but still I get the message that the key is
| invalid.
|
| Any fix short of re-imaging the machine?
|
| Thanks.
