Vista - Cannot activate vista

I have bought vista one month ago. Since I did not satisfy with the
performance of my computer, I have bought a cpu and mainboard today. Then I
plugged the cpu, mainboard and vista. Every thing was fine during the
installation. However, when the installation finished, it asked me to
activate my vista. Of course I let the validation begun, but my vista wasn't
activated finally.

Today is Saturday, and Monday is holiday in my country. That means I can
only get support until Tuesday. Originally I planned to play my computer game
in my holiday. It's 5am and I still can't get my desktop work. Sigh.

What you need to do is to reset/reactivate your Windows Vista installation using the telephone activation method:

You can get started with phone activation by typing "slui.exe 4"
(w/o the quotes) in the Start Search box in the Start Menu and pressing
Enter.

The phone activation process takes about 6 minutes.

* Franz:I am assuming since you can't play computer games, your computer
is in what's called "Reduced functionality mode". The link below
will walk you through on how to fix that until you can call and get
it activated. If you have another computer handy it will make it easier
for you to follow the instructions, or print it out.

Restoring Vista functionality once in reduced functionality mode

Thanks.

I have activated my vista through the telephone hotline.
