| | Vista Ultimate activates but fails to validate Hello, I have installed Vista Ultimate and activated the software. Everything worked like a charm. However when I try to download files from download.microsoft.com I cannot validate the software. I have tried both versions of the validation process. What can I do to make this work? I have tried the suggestion of reactivating the software but this doesn’t help. Welcome Center states “activated”. Everything else works fine and I can download files from everywhere except download.microsoft.com. This message is written on the computer in question. Thanks in advance /David |
