"Invalid key" when accessing Vista Picture Manager

Question
-
I recently purchased my computer with Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I have activated the program and verified that it is a genuine version of Vista etc. Upon using the Microsoft Office Picture Manager feature of the program, it prompts me to enter my product key.
I obtained the key from the sticker on the computer. I have entered it several times, but it keeps telling me that it is invalid and to try again. (I initially thought maybe my system wasn't activated, I used the slui.exe 4 option. I did talk directly with someone from Microsoft regarding my activation to make sure it was OK. He had me enter the same product key I am now trying to use to actitvate the picture manger feature).
Not sure what I am doing wrong or is Picture Manager only a "trial" option with Vista and then you have to purchase the program? Lost!!!
Contacted Acer and they said that I should not have to enter product activation keys to gain access. What's correct?
My diagnostic report is as follows:

Hi dallas34,
Vista and Office are two different products.
Your Vista is Genuine with no Activation or Validation issues, but your copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 is a Trial Version.
Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office in the computers they build. If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft Office program, it is likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a license (product key) for Microsoft Office.
The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system) and not for Microsoft Office.
Please review the following:How to determine whether you have a trial edition of a 2007 Office suite or program installed:
