Here's what happened. I installed Vista 32bit Ultimate, no problems with the
installation process. I activated it, again, no problems.
It's been 1 week since I installed it and now I get a baloon each time I
start Vista telling me that my copy is not activated. I tried to retype the
key, I'm getting the message "The product key you typed is already in use".
What happened and what do I need to do to activate Vista?
