Register Windows Vista - Error on page (Build5384)

[Guest]

I am running Beta 2 Build 5384.

When i click on 'Register Windows' from the Welcome centre, and the website
comes up (Picture of the guy in the red hoody on mountain); i try and click
on "continue registration", but it goes no where, and down the bottom i get
the 'Error on page' error. Any help ? Thanks.

All that is required is activation. Registration is not required. (Unless
by "registration" you meant to say "activation".)

If by "activation", you mean entering the serial key i received in email
during installation; that was fine. By "registration", i mean registering the
product online, via Microsoft's website. It that is not necessary, then i
have no problem (apart from audigy 2 not working and bluetooth not working).

Entering the serial key (Product Key) is not activating.

The Window that opens when Vista boots up has your system info in the top.
Maximize the window so that you can read all the items. One line says
whether or not Vista is activated. If you left the box "Activate when I get
on the internet" checked on the first screen at the time you started the
installation then Vista should be activated already (if you have been on the
internet at least once). Does the info in the top of the Window say that
Vista is activated? If it does then you do not have to do anything further.
If it says Vista is not activated then post back.

Audigy 2 and bluetooth are discussed in several threads in this newsgroup.
Scan down through the posts and you will find several.

hi,

i´m having the same problem like mick. when i´m trying to activate vista,
nothing happens (whether using IE7 nor firefox). during the installation, i
checked the "activate when i get ont the internet"-box. in my welcome centre
appears the message, that i have 14 days to register vista, so i think, it
isn´t registered yet.
i´m using the same build-version like mick.

additonally i have to say, that i already had installed vista on my computer
,but i didn´t acitavted it then.

thanks you and excuse my bad english. =)

What is the build version that you are using? Have you tried doing a manual
activation? If not, open your system properties and then click the link down
near the bottom to activate windows.

What happens when you click on the link that is with the "14 days to
activate".

I just thought of this...Are you going through any sort of proxy server?
