Vista activation - months after activating!

[stannie65]

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my Pc at the moment which i can't see how to get around.

I have had my system set up for about 2 years, but when i turned it on yesterday i get a screen with Administrator and Stannie (me) logos telling me to activate.

I have a legit copy of vista, and obviously activated it ages ago. It is not letting me into windows, i get options of buying a key, reentering the one i have, or using the telephone service.

When i re renter it gives me an error code of 0x004e003.

What is going on!? My PC is now unuseable. Should i just reinstall Vista, or is there a way around this?

I've read that it could be caused by hardware changes, but all of those issues seem to be letting people access windows to fight around it, mine wont, just the loading screen and four activation options.

Any help is gratefully received!

Did you recently attempt to change hardware? If you did then the reactivation screen is ok. I would call microsoft when the screen gives you the number and tell them your problem. They will reactivate your copy of windows vista.
