Unable to product keys

I am not able to enter a product key for my money program. I have had this
problem before and know it is a Vista thing. What happens is that thier is
not enough spaces to put the product key in the allocated spaces. I know it
is in my setting and have had to do this in the past but for the life of me I
do not remenber how to solve this issue.
Can anyone help me???

It isn't "a Vista thing". If there are not enough spaces, you are typing
in the wrong product key. Without knowing more details, I can only guess
that you are trying to enter the product key for Vista that you found on
a sticker on your computer instead of the correct one that came with the
Money program.

This is only a guess and if it is wrong, then post back with a full and
clear description of what you are actually doing, from where you are
getting the product key, etc.

Let me see if I can explain my issue clearer:
I am using microsoft Money program for my personal use and a couple months
ago I installed a money upgrade. At that time I could not get the key code
in as thier was not enoght room for all the letters and numbers. I proceeded
to call tech support and they were able to tell me how to adjust some vista
wiondows setting to allow the complete product key code to be entered and
everything was fine. I have since had to reload my program and now back in a
pickle not being able to enter all of the key codes.
When I talked to teck support he said it was a windows vista thing.
I tried DPI settings but it didn't help.
I hope ths explains more of what my issues is.

Still pretty vague. Perhaps you have your screen resolution set too low
so that everything is too big to fit on the monitor. Go to the Display
applet (Classic mode) and click on Settings. If you have your resolution
set to something very low like 800 x 600, use the slider to move it up
to at least 1024 x 768 (Apply/OK). Since I don't know what kind/size
monitor you're using, that's as specific as I can get with the
resolution settings. Post back with this missing information if this
seems to be on the right track.

I have never heard of any problem like this unless the user was entering the
wrong key or trying to insert '-' where there was no need..
