Could be that you misread the numbers. Read it carefully - maybe even with a
magnifier. B's can look like 8's, etc.

I tried again with a magnifier, and again it failed to accept the product
key. What can I do or you do to solve this problem?

Try the activate by telephone option. If there is some problem with the key
you can work it out over the phone.

Could I have that phone number please, someone gave me the 1-888-871-2048
number, but that was a recording of a dialed wrong number. I would much
appreciate it.

Go to www.microsoft.com and head for the support section. You will need to
make certain selections so that you get the phone number you need to call
them. Help with installation is still free, but you do have to pay long
distance phone charges. I've found them to be fast so you don't need to take
out a second mortgage for that call.
