Hello HTMLCODER.exe, and welcome to Vista Forums,

Did you use the manual way with Option Two for the slui.exe 4 file. If you did, and this is the options you got, then you will need to contact HP to let them know you need help activating Vista with the OEM product key number that you have provided by them.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hmm... the slui.exe 4 showed exactly the same options.
But... In past, I had to reactivate Vista couple of times, and I could use the phone for this. I have 4 days left; I guess I'll just waut for the reduced mode to kick in, then it maybe will show the phone options.

I have noticed that Microsoft has been stopping support for OEM versions where they use to help with phone activation before. I would contact HP before you get in reduced functionality mode to see what they say. They should be able to help you with their OEM activation as per their requirement and agreement with Microsoft.
