First, Vista seems robust even on my AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with 512MB and
onboard VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP. Installation of both Vista Ultimate and Home
Premium went smoothly. However, I have two woes:

1.. I need to Activate VHP today but I get a message stating that the
Product Key is already in use. I never activated Ultimate using this Key.
2.. Vista almost never remembers my resolution or frequency.
Any ideas?

You will not be able to Activate Home Premium. The CPP key will only work
for Ultimate. If you installed Home Premium from the drop-down menu
bypassing entering a key, then Vista gives it a 'temporary' key, that cannot
be activated. (Everyone installing Home Premium would have that same key).
