Service Pack 3

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Downloaded SP3 from Technet home page, slipsteamed it into xp sp2, all went
fine.
Proceded to install it to customers PC and got to the point where it asks
for the product key, entered the one from the sticker on the case, and it
comes back numver invalid. Tried a number from another sticker with same
result.

Any ideas?
