    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 ;)
