Without a complete analysis of you recent installation
log files, there is no way to determine why you are
prompted for re-activation. However, there is a solution:
You may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which
Windows Vista was already activated by a Volume License or OEM installation:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;931573
You can reset your Windows Vista activation by performing the following:
1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4
2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.
3. Select your Country.
4. Follow the instructions for phone activation.
5. Once completed, restart your computer.

Greets,
I have had my computer for nearly 6 months, and a couple days ago right
after statup, I get the windows popup "windows could not activate" and then
something along the lines of "click here for troubleshooting".
So when I get back into Windows Activation it's giving me 30 days to
activate and it won't activate on-line.
I have been through the various activation related issues with other
machines but not with this one.
Why did this happen?
Is Vista requireing multiple activations over periods of time?
Before I go through the phone activation, I wanted to know more as to why
this even happened.
Just for basics:
I did NOT get a new computer, change hardware (it's a notebook) and i have
not installed vista elswhere, and my copy is a legitimate copy which I have
not copied/lent out to others.
Thanks for any and all input.
Joe
