VISTA VALIDATION again and again......
Hi there just received my dvd of Vista RC1 build 5600, it installed okay and
for a moment I had full access to all the functions.....but.........sporadically it gives me an error message telling me there is a problem with my product key and I cant validate the software, HELP!! I can't find a solution to the problem and it seems pointless continuing with the program when I can't use the aero functions, failing that I'll go back to good old reliable XP -- GJS
