Activation

Hello ! I bought yesterday new stuff for my PC... Processor, Motherboard and
Graphic Card. I had to reinstalled vista, but i can't activate because it
says " Your product key is already used". So what can I do ? I don't use my
old processor...

Thank you !

You can reset your Windows Vista activation by performing the following:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4

2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Select your Country.

4. Follow the instructions for phone activation (no charge).

5. Once completed, restart your computer.

The license _is_ already in use, by you, because of your initial
Activation. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to activate by
telephone.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin

Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has
killed a great many philosophers.

Thank you for everyone ! I called Microsoft, and by an automatic message, I
had to answer some question, like "Windows is installed on 1 or more than
one computer...".

It take sme 5 min, and it works !

Thank you again !
