my cousin bought her computer in december, and it came without an OS. She
went to the university bookstore, and bought a windows XP package, she
installed it, and it worked fine, now 2 months later, it asks for the product
key, saying her trial period is up, so she put in the product key on the box,
and it says invalid product key.

I dont get this since she just bought this 2 months ago.

PLEASE HELP, we've been tearing out hair over this whole deal, and microsoft
hs been telling us to call back tomorrow....everyday for the past week.....

That sounds more like a message from a 60 day trial version of
Microsoft Office rather than anything that would be produced by
Windows XP.
