Product Key

[peter]

Ok........I have searched this and other Vista newsgroups as well as
Windowshelp.microsoft.com website for an answer and have found none.
I had Vista beta 2 installed as a dual boot with XP and ran that way for
about 1 month.
I deleted Vista and ran XP.
I now have tried to install Vista again only to have it say my Product Key
cannot be activated double check .
Well at that point there is no Activation Phone Number...............
Is there an actual phone number for Customer Preview Program Vista Beta
2???????????????
If so what is that number for Canada?????????? or where could I actually
find it??
Product Support for Canada just sends me to the above website.

Does anyone have a solution/work around for this problem??
The product key is supposed to be good for up to 10 PC's ....I have only
installed and uninstalled it on 2 machines.
Help would be appreciated.

Sometimes Zeros look like o's, and 6's like b's...I recommend double checking
also.

The most common problem is the clock. Make sure you have the time and
timezone correct and then try again.

The Product Key is in all Capital Letter and numbers.........no mistakes
made during the 6 attempts

Uninstall or disable (in BIOS if on-board) your Network card and install
Vista. I am told that it will cough up the phone number if it doesn't find
any NIC in the system.
