try activating it over the phone instead of the internet

If this is a big OEM built machine like Dell or HP, the the key should be on the case. But you have to use phone activation for that key.

What do you mean it didn't work? You keep saying "microsoft said it was wrong" or it didn't work. Describe EXACTLY what is happening.

Are you sure you're typing it in right? I had literally a "situation" with a coworker, when he couldn't type the key in correctly, and was sure that something is wrong. Ask someone else to type it in, - this usually works.

You need to use a Windows XP Home OEM CD with the HP Windows XP Home OEM Product Key.

micro soft says its not right and to retry again!!

Are you sure they didn't say it was wrong because it is already in use?

I don't think this is the problem. He said that there are 26 days left. Meaning the key was accepted during install. This would not have happened if the keys were mismatched. However, he may have used a retail edition with his retail key and then tried to change to an OEM.
