    Win7 Product Key problems

    Corrupted files on my system disc meant I had to re-install Win7.

    I have used the product key originally sent to me when I downloaded Win7 (I also bought physical media) but it now says "invalid product key". Download and licence was purchase via Digital River.

    Suggestions?

    I can't install XP home edition from win7 , which product key should I use

    Can't install XP Mode in Win7

    I'm using Win7 Ultimate, so that shouldn't be an issue. Besides, i'm sure i'd get an error message if i wasn't allowed to install it on my edition.

    It installs fine but i don't get any shortcuts and no wizard ever starts after installation (like i'm reading in tutorials on net and in MS help files which are even weirder).

    I'm just following these steps:

    But i'm not getting the desired effect. I just don't get it.
