Vista activation

[Guest]

Hi

Can anyone advise me of the UK activation telephone number? Bought new PC
with XP Media Centre installed, tried 4 times to do upgrade to Vista, I'm
sure I don't need to tell anyone how much time that wasted, each time it fell
over about 3/4 of the way through, with and without the latest install
updates. Did a clean install and now when I try to activate online it tells
me I can't use the key that I have because it's for the upgrade version with
no email or telephone option. Ta.

No option displayed to activate by phone on the rejection screen when I try
online, is there a setting somewhere on my PC?
