Re: Re-Installing Windows Vista "Dave" <dave[ at ]beepbeep.com> 6/20/2007 6:12:30 PM If the online activation fails, there is an option doing via telephone. Explain what happened, and they will give you a new key. "David K" <David K[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A8EC8E0E-02DD-43B9-AEC9-13886D5AAA1D[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Re-Installing Windows Vista "John Barnett MVP" <freelanceit[ at ]mvps.org.NOSPAM> 6/20/2007 6:37:51 PM Choose the telephone option and dial the automated activation line. Make sure you are in front of your pc when you call and that your pc is 'on'. You will need to input a set of numbers into your telephone keypad once you are connected to the activation line ( the numbers will be displayed on your screen when you click on the 'telephone activation' option. The automated line will then give you another set of numbers to type into the dialogue box on your screen. If activation fails then 'stay' on the line and you will be transferred to a 'real' person who should be able to help you. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
