Reinstall/ Reactivation
Okay, So I clean installed Vista H.P. from XP (had to clean install because
going from 32-64-bit), Activated and everything was fine. Decided to purchase a SLI-ready motherboard, and due to significant hardware change i had to install vista again. My problem now is that I have 22 days to activate however the activation program is telling me my Key Code is already in use. How can i get my key code reset without having to pay the $59 to call Support??? (It says I have no free supports left) |

When you are told this select the phone activation option, call the
number and explain you changed motherboard. They'll give you the codes to reactivate.

When you try to activate, it will offer options to activate by phone. Do
that, it will not cost a thing. -- Paul "Joshua" wrote: Okay, So I clean installed Vista H.P. from XP (had to clean install because going from 32-64-bit), Activated and everything was fine.

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. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Â*----- "Joshua" wrote: The only option i have is to activate Vista online, what is the phone number i need to call?

Type in: slui.exe 4 in the "Start Search" box,
not the "Search" box. It's right above the Vista blue start button when you click on it. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Â*----- "Joshua" wrote in message ...
