Vista - After Vista reinstall and successful activation, Windows "thinks"

Hi,

I had to reinstall Windows Vista today. I thought activation of the software
was going to be an issue as there is so much written on the internet about
this, however activation went ok, but ... surprise surprise, after minutes of
being using the system and a couple of drivers installed, Windows started to
display a message suggesting the Windows copy I have is not legal and that I
need to click on a link to validate.

After going through the on-line validation process successfuly again,
Windows still thinks the software is ilegal....

Please help.

Thanks.

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.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I have just finished the activation process successfully through the phone,
but still have the same problem. Windows still thinks the copy is not
original.

Any more ideas please?

Thanks.

Did you talk to a human on the phone? That's been suggested a lot on this
forum for similar problems.

The op was not clear. From the sound of it- It's not an activation
problem it's a WGA problem.

It was a human voice, but just recorded messages taking me through the
activation process.

I have successfully revalidated the sofware ten times, but still get the
warning messages and have reduced functionality.

At the right bottom of the screen there is message "Windows Vista TM,
Compilation 6000, This copy of Windows is not original"
