activation freezes unable to activate
I bought a pc with oem version of vista. When I go to activate the green bar
stops about 2/3 of cm from the end and activation dosn't complete. I'm based in the UK. Is there a way I cna do this by phone or do I have to wait until the PC prompts me with the uk phone number. If I re-try and fail dose this count as an activation or does it onl;y count once the process completes fullt and the activation complete message appears. cheers R |

The mac is the way to go if you want a smooth computing experience... everyone that uses one would agree. just ask them! good luck with Vista until you "switch"... |
