Today I spent, oh, I don't know, about a century and a half unscrewing 
various Vista "features" on my brother-in-law's pc.  Then he decided 
that he wanted to install The Sims Deluxe (plus a whole bunch of 
expansions).  My sister had been playing the thing on her XP 'puter, no 
problems.

Put CD in drive.  Accept legal crap.  Accept default locations.  Dialog 
box finally appears in which to enter product key.

Product key is something like:  1234 - 1234567 - 1234567 - 1234
Entry fields have exactly enough space for:  123 - 123456 - 123456 - 123

See the problem?

So now I've spent another century and a half googling for a solution, to 
no avail.  Anybody got any ideas?
