I've just installed vista home premium x64 and upon trying to activate
recieved
' Error Code 0x80072F8F' as the reason for it's failiure. I then tried to do
Windows Update and this returned the same error code. There is also a problem
with web certificates and the Phising filter doesn't work due to Microsoft
network being unavailible. This has never happened in previous installations
and urgently needs fixing as I only have three days left to activate.
