Which site is not accepting your Office XP product key? Why would a site ask
for your Office product key? The product key is used when installing the
product.
Have you tried installing the latest version of Windows Live Messenger? Try
uninstalling the product and reinstall it, but this time, right click it and
click 'Run as Administrator'.

Outlook 2002 works well with Vista, except remembering email passwords.
Don't look for that to be fixed, either.
You'll just have to keep Outlook opened for as long as you can if you don't
want to enter the password every time.

Does Outlook work on Vista?
Naturally, Outlook 2007, the newest version of Outlook, works well on Vista.
(It also works great on Windows XP.) Outlook 2003 works well on Vista as
well. Both of
these versions are officially supported on Vista, so if any issues arise
Microsoft will offer public hotfixes or include the fix in future Service
Packs.
Outlook 2002: It runs, but email account passwords are not saved. After you
enter the password
during the first email check, Outlook will remember it until you close down
Outlook. This is
because Outlook used the protected storage interfaces to store passwords and
these are no
longer supported in Vista. Unless Microsoft decides to create a publicly
available hotfix to
address this, you won't be able to save passwords. Outlook 2002 is outside
of mainstream
support so this is unlikely to happen as it's not a critical security hole.
You can use a Windows script program such as AutoIt to enter the password
for you.
Note that when you enter the password, the Send and Receive that brought up
the password dialog
may fail but future send and receives will work. Leave Outlook open 24/7 to
avoid entering it
frequently.
