No hardware changes but Vista asks for new key

[Guest]

Vista says that because of hardware changes, I have to renew my product key.
Trick is, I didn't change anything in my computer!!!
I am now stuck with Vista which is saying that I have 3 days left to
validate my Vista.

HELP, I already tried to register my key again, but, of course, my key is
already in use so MS doesn't accept.
Any body any ideas? I bought Vista in a normal, decent computer store and I
worked with it for 2 months without big problems.
Any ideas?

Thanks from Belgium in advance.

You will likely have to call it in from now on. When you go to activate
your copy of Vista, it will tell you a phone number you will have to use to
activate it. It can be a little trying to understand some of the people,
but you don't really have much of an option unfortunately.
