    Actually rang microsoft yesterday and they tell me the product key from the bottom of the laptop is not compatible with the OS Cd I installed as the cd is for windows professional and the product key is for a windows home edition!! So there was nothing they could do for me! This is the cd I received with the laptop so I don't know what to do!!!

    That's the answer, you will have to get you hands (Beg borrow steal ebay) on an OEM Windows HOME CD , which isn't of a different brand to that of your PC
