bumsmanifesto: Have you tried registering the key with steam? I've registered games that I didn't purchase through steam and it worked, though it doesn't work all of the time.
Not for this game, unfortunately.
If the OP is still around, or if anyone else is reading this and thinking that it's strange that GoG wouldn't deal with it, the answer was given on an earlier post in the thread. Anyone with a problem with the retail disks needs to contact support at the main Witcher site -

GoG may be a sister-company to the developer, but they're not the developer, and they're not involved in the retail distribution. Only the original vendor or the developer can handle problems with the retail disk media..
