I AM RECIVING A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PRODUCT KEY ALREADY USED?

I HAVE PURCHED DESKTOP OF A RENTED PLACE CLEAN, IT CAME WITH WINDOWS VISTA INSTALLED AND THE PRODUCT KEY, JUST NO DISC. I FOUND A VISTA ULTIMATE ON CREGSLIST AND PURCHED, AS IT CAME WITH KEY PRODUCT AND THE DISC. I'M WORKING THROUGH SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF MINORR I'VE ACCUMULATED. AND NOW I'M RUNNING IN THIS 'PRODUCT KEY YOU TYPED IS ALREADY USED' - WHY? AND WHAT DO I DO?

Hello

Use the control below see if it is authentic or not

http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/validate/

and this problem is with the software of craigslist, you bought separately and not from the desktop computer with vista installed on it read the information below

you bought a desktop computer with vista installated BUT with no disc to reinstall vista

BUT you don't have the correct product key for this office on the envelope

Follow these tips to reinstall vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    I bought Windows Vista Home Basic in April 2008. Order number: 1000831652. I have the electronic invoice and original original DVD. I had also activated my product then. Later, I installed SP1 and SP2, and regular updates.

    Three months ago I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows, SP1 and SP2. However, could not activate my windows. Error message says "PRODUCT KEY ALREADY IN USE. So I re-formated and reinstalled Windows - but received the same error message while activating. I repeated the format routine - install three times during the last three months, but the same result while activating - "PRODUCT KEY ALREADY in USE.

    I also tried activating by phone but no results there either. Kindly help me to activate and register my product.

  • I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked,

    I had to perform a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on Win7Pro, which recorded data may in a window.old directory.   When I installed Win 7 Ultimate, it would install with Win 7 Pro installed, so I've had to do a clean install which has formatted the hard drive.

    I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate with the product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked and I cannot activate my installation of Win 7 Ultimate.  What are the options?
