This is rediculous. I didn't change anything by choice. One of my four RAM
sticks went bad and I had to re-activate Vista. So now once I get it
replaced will I have to re-activate yet again. Also it did take me some time
to figure out how to re-activate correctly because the online attempt said
code was already in use and immediate sent me to a window that said I had to
go buy another copy or pay $60 dollars to contact Microsoft to solve the
problem. As you can imagine I was quite livid.
It took me over an hour to find out that I could manually restart the
activation window AND to use the phone activation option so that when the
stupid automated phone service said my product key was again already in use
it finally put a real person on who assisted me in fixing the problem.
Microsoft should make it far easier to find the right process when problems
arise. I could have save an hour if the FAQ pages indicated the need to use
the phone activation option instead of me having to search through a million
useless General Discussion threads to find it. I had to try a dozen
different search topics.
