Hi Ping_Boyz,

This usually happens if you also made any significant hardware changes to the computer. For example: motherboard, hard drive, or video card. MS thinks you are then trying to install Vista on another computer since the hardware is different.

You will just need to do a phone activation to get your Vista activated again. This will show you how.
