Activation

I think I am having to reinstall Vista from scratch as it has partly
corrupted.

Will I be able to activate over internet again or will I have to
telephone Microsoft?

Any help appreciated

Yes, you can activate over the internet. But if the activation is not
successful (depends on how long it's been since your last activation),
you will be given a toll-free number to call. It's all pretty painless
and fast. No worries.

RE: Activation

Why Reinstall? Have you attempted to use any of the repair tools available
when you boot to the Vista DVD?
