Vista Activation

Hi,

I've got a little problem with the Activation of Windows Vista. I've
installed january, activation was no problem. Several days ago I've changed
the CPU, Now I've changed the graphiccard. Now Vista says to me I've got to
re-activate it. I've chosen "reactivate" but now it say I could not activate
because it's already in use...already in use? Only I'am using this version of
Vista!

Maybe I should have stay with XP...

Sorry for my bad english!

Thank you for any help!

Greetings
Marcel Germann

Use the activation routine when prompted but use the activate by phone
option. You'll need to go through a few menus but ultimately, you'll speak
to a human. Tell the individual what you've done and they will provide an
activation key over the phone.

Follow the instructions for telephone activation. That should be one of the
choices.

I've called ist. The computer on the other end of the phone said the code is
invalid. And human employee is not available at this time. Now we've got 1:47
at the morning. I'm working shift...

Follow the instructions for telephone activation. That is your only option.
