Re-Activating

[Guest]

I have a dell bought computer it came with a windows vista upgrade. So I
installed the upgrade but because of the lack of driver support I reformated
my computer to Windows XP. Just about yesterday I decided to put Vista back
on but when I go to activate it says that my CD Key is already in use. So I
do the activation over the phone and It says there is a error also. So I go
to live chat with microsoft. And when it asks for my PID it says it is in the
incorrect format. What can I do?

Try contacting Dell, since they are the ones responsible for OEM support of
Windows Vista.

After the telephone activation fails, just stay on the line and a live
representative will answer. They will assist you in completing the
activation. Be patient.
