Good Evening,
i updated the firmware of my Mainboard (Abit AB9) to the newest Version.
After that was finished Windows Vista Business suddenly started to find new
devices like some onboard-sound-deviced (digital,...). That was odd, but i
didn't really cared, since all functioned proberly.
Some hours later, i got one of the tiny yellow pop-ups, mentioning i need to
re-activate my Vista within 3 days.
Ok, i tried and failed.
The message say "The [...] product key is allready in use"
It then gave me 4 options:
- to buy a new WinVista Business key
- to input another key.
- to activate it via phone
- to contact Mircrosoft...
Here some further information that could be of use:
- My school gave my a license key (in short i own a original)
- i activated WinVista right after the installation
- i made a firmware update of my mainboard
- i changed some configurations in the BIOS. (In short, doing a "little" bit
of overclocking, but went really soon back to the old configuration, since i
don't have a good silencer yet.)
I would really appreciate some help here, since 3 days are VERY short and
momentarily isn't the best time to give up on my system....i can't reinstall
it next week.
greetings
