Since the product key is not on the CD, no that can't possibly be what
it means.

Exactly how are you trying to do this? Please be specific? Booting
from the CD? Running from within Windows? What steps did you take?

Why are you doing this? What are you planning to accomplish?



Before I attempt a complete re-install I'd like a
second opinion, since the tech support didn't know what they mean. Thanks in
advance,
Mickey
