Recently purchased WIN XP Home Ed. and product key invalid

I just bought a copy of Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and when
I entered the product key off the back of the included folder.. the code is
invalid. I bought the stuff on Compusa Online. It all looks like official
microsoft stuff to me. I'm not too happy spending good money on something
that is basically worthless if I need to buy yet another version. Can you
help me ?

Did you try complaining to CompUSA?
That would be your first logical course of action..

I just had the PC I bought 2 years ago get rejected by the new Windows
update saying the Key is a CompUSA Enterprise Key and is no longer
acceptable. CompUSA gave me an OEM Copy of the software so I could get a
good key.
