I am getting the same problem relating to this. I have restored two previous
attempts and still an issue. Thereare reports on the web which states that
this is occuring.
Also contact MS via the phone and it activates but when confirming from MS
geniune site it fails.

Known problem. Nobody could activate right now.

A whole page of complaints:
http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/...1004&SiteID=25

One of the topics says that the activation server is having problems and to
try activating again on Tuesday.

I'm not sure if it's true, although from what I've seen yea probably.

Hi Sarge,

When you go into Control Panel (Classis) > System. Do you have the
blue Genuine Microsoft logo? If you do, then I would not worry about
it.

If not then:
If you are not using a OEM version of Vista, then you might try doing a
clean (boot from dvd and format hard drive) install of Vista again.
Install all of your drivers and Windows Updates first, then try to
activate Vista.

If you have a upgrade version, you can see how to do a clean install
here with it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Lenny,

I discovered that there is currently a problem with Microsoft's
activation servers. No one is able to activate as Genuine right now. You
should wait a day or two to try again. If you are about to run out of
time on your trial period, you can see this for how to extend the trial
period until MS has their activation problem fixed.

And *hope* the time you have left for reactivation doesn't expire in the
meantime and leave you with a crippled system, right?

How often is something like this going to need to happen until people will
finally start voting with their wallet and not support things like this?

Things like this are among the reasons why I will stay away from Vista or
any other products that use such technologies.

I've made a couple of posts along the same lines, I am actually
concerned about using Windows for the first time in my life. One hopes
that this event is the nail in WGA / Activation's coffin, though I doubt
it. 'Tis a huge selling point for the pirates though eh?
