Windows ME Key not working
Just tried to install an Millennium Edition virtual machine, it refuses every single key code I've tossed it (and all codes work for others). Any ideas on a fix?

No. You'll need a correct key & if it is an OEM key they may not work. Did you try calling the MS activation center?

No, it's not an OEM key, and no, I haven't bothered with the Microsoft activation centre because it's not originally my disc anyway (borrowed), and I only intend to mess around with it in Virtual PC.

I always turn on my CAPS lock to try and avoid the B's that look like 8's etc....

I tried CAPS LOCK, that didn't work, and also the fonts of the keys I've tried are all ones that I can decipher the differences. I appreciate the tips though
