Hi Beth...unfortunately the only way to get a legal product code is to call Microsoft and explain to them what happened and they should give you another one. And your settings look fine at freelists...I just checked...it's probably AOL's stupid filters...you should check and make sure you have the group set up to get around them (tho I have no clue how that's done cuz I do NOT have AOL on my machine and never will) Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
