Activate by phone

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
Please note this step #9

If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

  • Windows XP Pro SP2 re - install does not accept the product key.

    I'm trying to re - use the product key on the sticker from the bottom of the laptop.  This is the same computer that was working fine until I decided to reinstall, but I use a different installation media because the laptop (a refurb) never came with the media.  Can I call MS and get it re-authorized?  I have XP Pro SP2 and XP Pro SP3 Reacondicionador media.

    You try to install Windows XP with OEM product key you have on your COA sticker. So be sure that you have a generic Windows XP OEM CD, because VLK or Retail CD does not accept the OEM product key.

  • I get an error when you try to restart my computer adpu320.sys is corrupted under Windows Vista 32-bit.

    The operating system was installed when I bought the computer and it asks me to fix it by placing the windows vista disc. I don't have the disks but have the product key on the bottom of the computer. How can I solve this problem without the disc. I tried to recover from a date earlier and who does not.

    Appreciate any help I can get.

    Hi Mcsimmons,

    Did you the latest changes on the system?
     
    Because the adpu320.sys file is corrupted, you will need to arrange for an Installation of Windows Vista disc repair to start the system to solve the problem.
