You can activate Vista by performing the following:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4
2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.
3. Select your Country.
4. Follow the instructions for phone activation.
5. Once completed, restart your computer.

I tried that but i dont get the option to do that. my options are to buy an
online code or retype a code or ask for help - which isnt very helpful

Either you have an illegal code OR you are mis-typing it in. Are you
sure you're not typing the wrong code from somewhere (which happened
to someone on here a while ago)? Some of these small labels can be
confusing with some characters easly confused.

thats the same errors as im getting.. I have checked with microsoft and the
code is valid so i know i havent typed it wrong.. im just not sure what to
do know. when i phone microsoft im getting pushed about from pillar to post
because no one want s to admit that the problem is with vista rather than us!

 

[Guest]

I cannot reinstall windows either as it now says that my disc is corrupt. so
nothing i seem to do works!

Take it back to the store you bought it from. If someone "made" a copy for
you - then you don't have a workable legal copy.

 

[Guest]

My copy is a legal copy not someone who has made a copy, it is authentic its
just not accepting the product key, yet I managed 3-4months without any
problems now this!

I only have access to the internet!!!!! I don't have access to anything else
on my computer!!!! How can I fix this problem without access to anything?
Windows gives u all of these so called solutions but for us that don't have a
start button showing (VISTA) or anything else but the internet.......do you
have any suggestions for us?
