| Guest | Activation problem I upgraded my pc from XP to Vista Home Premium months ago. I had activated it. Now, some update ran, and it's asking me again to activate. The code on my Vista disk won't work (already in use....yeah, of course. It's supposed to be!) I have no other code to type in, and retyping this one just gets me the same error message. There is no way I am re-buying a product key that I already have! |

| Guest | Re: Activation problem Choose the option to activate by phone. Call Microsoft at the displayed number for your region, normally done in less than 10 minutes.
