Having trouble activating Vista from trial, error 0xC004F061
I upgraded Windows MCE to Windows Home Premium and I decided to try the trial
mode first. Well, today is the last day of my trial and I am trying to
activate Vista and I get error code 0xC004F061 when I try to activate and it
says the key can only be used for upgrading. Is there a way to get around
this? I don't want to reinstall Vista....

have a supposed email account for msfn@msfn.org, but that bounces as

Vista 64 - no Network Access
XP pro (64 bit) works fine.
Vista Business (64 bit) everything works except no network.
ASUS sent me to marvell who makes the 8001 nic chip. Various drivers updates
from them, no access. I believe other users are having the same problem.
So I thought I would get a vista 64 compatible nic card. Went to fry's and
