Re-installing Windows Vista

[Guest]

Hi people.

I re0installed Windows Vista with the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" CD and now
its telling me to activate windows. So I looked at the back of the laptop
where it says "Product Key:" and typed down the key. It then says its
invalid. I have read the product key again from the laptop back and even used
a magnifying glass, but everytime i typed it down and press "next", it just
says its invalid. What should i do? buying a new product key is too
expensive.help!

The "Anytime Upgrade" disc is only to be used to upgrade to
a different version of Windows Vista from the original version
that came preinstalled on your computer. You would need to
purchase a license for the "Anytime Upgrade" version of Vista
you installed, or reformat your drive and reinstall the original version.

Just call the Microsoft "help" line and explain what happened. Under
most conditions they should be able to activate either the key you
have or give you a new one.
