Hi Vista Forums.
Recently i have been having trouble with my product key for Vista home premium on my other computer, so i went to a Microsoft help forum and came across a guy who was having the same problems as me, another person had posted a solution saying that he should follow a few steps by going into command prompt and rearming his computer, now, i had a day left before my validation time ran out so i tried the same thing, followed the steps and got a message telling me to restart the computer in order for the changes to take effect, so i thought brilliant! I am going to get this fixed but when i turned the computer back on all i got was a black screen (it looked like the booting screen) with a flashing underscore sign in the top left corner!
Is there anyway i can fix this without having to phone up microsoft to get support?
I need your help asap as its not my computer its another family members.
Thanks
