Windows Vista Problems

[Guest]

I installed, activate, register my copy of Windows Vista RC1 with the product
key I got from Microsoft and was able to install updates from Microsoft site.
A few minutes I started receiving errors that my Windows Vista has not been
activated and start experiencing the Blue screen and my system start
restarting after
performing dumps.

I have done a few clean installations after encountering these problems to
no avail. For each new installation on the same machine, I have the same
problem. It is not a machine problem because I installed Beta 2 on the same
machine and it was a pretty more stable than RC1.

Secondly, Windows Media Centre stopped working after adding files to the
media library. Never used it in RC1 but was able to do that in Beta 2.

What should do I?

Thanks.

Did you change the system time? Have you tried not entering a key and not
activating for 30 days?

Media Center was a lot more stable in Beta 2 than in the RC1 build, they've
been doing a lot of work on improving MCE all around and bug fixes hopefully
are coming soon.

I didn't change my system time since installing RC1 and my installation is
not up to 30 days. It just about a week now.I activated the installation
within 2 days.

Thanks.
