    I got a message saying that I had to activate windows (which I had already done when I was installing it), so went to do it and it told me that the windows key is already in use(by me I presume) and I have to buy a new one. Went to there phone activation and thats talking about XP!!! Anyone any idea what's going on and how I fix it??

    Ok, got it sorted. FYI if anyone else has a problem with there activation don't ring the number provided by Vista during the registration wizzard. Instead ring 1850 940 940, follow the instuctions through and enter the 9 groups of 6 numbers that you tried to actiate it with originally, it won't work but now you will get the option to talk to a service agent. Within 5 mins she had it sorted, gave me a new activation number and told me I had a fantastic day ahead:-)

    Same thing happened to me tonight after installing updates last night. From looking at other posts it seems that the problem was caused by the updates themselves.
    Problem is I'm deaf so I had to e-mail Microsoft. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with it. they promised me a reply within 24 hours.

    Bah, happened to me and I just reinstalled. Only took about 5 mins, and I've everything partitioned anyways. Will bookmark this thread for future reference.
