It's a HP Pavilion 9005us computer and it came installed with windows vista. I'm pretty sure it's activated at all, but when I went to microsoft word it wanted my product key. It's on the bottom of my computer so I typed it in where it was specified. It was exactly 25 characters but apparently my key is invalid. I am a legal buyer! I didn't get it pirated and it's giving me crap. What do I do?
Apparently I have an invalid product key for my Windows vista on my computer. What do I do?anti virus scan
Word has a different key than Vista, they are two separate products. Did you buy word, or are you using teh demo version that came with the PC?

The product key of your computer and Microsoft Word are two different product key numbers. Microsoft product key should be on the Cd's case that had Microsoft cd. The product key found on your computer deals with other softwares such as Windows Media player. It has nothing to do with microsoft word.
Most likely the copy of MS Office that came on that computer was a trial version. You would have to purchase a license from MS to keep that product. Otherwise I suggest going to http://www.openoffice.org and download and install OpenOffice. It's a great Office suite and it's FREE.
As others have said, the product key on the computer is for Vista, not Word (even though it's called "Word Vista"). I think if you just hit Enter it will let you use the package for 30 or 60 days, however, at the end of that time, and apparently without warning, it will let you read your files, but not edit them or create new ones. You have to purchase Microsoft Office 2007 to do that.
