Problem: I can't activate windows vista even with "phone activation".

Hello world
I just re-formatted my computer and now I am asked to activate windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 32.
I try to activate it, but I want to take this message: your product key is already in use!
I try the phone activation but when I call it just make the noise characteristic beep beep beep and then my call ends.
I have genuine Windows Vista product key (bought).
I never gave my reference to anyone.
So I don't know what the problem... Help, please.

Thanks in advance. Jim

The second is a general for the Greece phone number as you have indicated that your country is the Greece. If you dial the number and explain your activation problem and the phone number doesn't work not they may be directly connect you to support or you give a better number to use.

    Here is the HP for Vista recovery information.

    "Performing a recovery of the system HP (Windows Vista)"

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • I can't activate Windows Vista.

    I've recently updated my laptop from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7.  Given that I'm no longer using Vista I've updated my office from XP to Vista, but it does not accept the product key for activation.  He said that the key is already active, even though I am no longer using this product key because my laptop has a new key for Windows 7.  I have 7 days to activate my office.  How can I activate it without having to buy another product key or to accept the product key I have now?

    Read this:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

  • Can I download Windows Vista even though I already have XP?

    I have a very bad copy of windows XP on my PC and have nothing but trouble with it. I have my old copy of Vista and you want to download it. But I have problems doing that. Is it possible to add Vista even though I already have XP on it? What should I do?

    Hi Themonstercalled,

    1. what type of installation disk you use to install Windows Vista? You are using a full version or upgrade disk?

    2. what exactly happens when you try to download Vista?

    If you want to keep Windows XP, you can try to install Windows Vista on a dual boot and check.

    Note: Be sure to make a backup of important data on an external hard drive before performing any type of installation.

    You can check the following links for more information:

  • Can I activate Windows 7 without a phone?

    Hello

    I have formatted my laptop, downloaded the same exact copy of Windows (Home premium), entered the key on the sticker, but then it says that I should go ahead by phone. The number of my country doesn't seem to work. The number of countries closest to me is incredibly expensive (I already tried without success to activate even).

    Is it possible to activate my Windows without having to make this call?

    Thank you!

    If direct Internet activation is not possible, the activation of the phone is your best option.

  • I just had to activate my Windows Vista via the phone. Can I do it again the next time I have reformat my computer?

    I once invited by Microsoft to activate my windows vista using phone... Thus, you will be asked to activate windows vista by using phone next time I have reformat my laptop?

    It is likely, but maybe not.

    Sometimes the internet activation works but stops working if you activate the product too expensive.

    For example, I reinstalled Windows and Office 5 times (on the same computer) in 2 weeks before and the activation of the internet has stopped working so I had to activate by phone.

    However a few months later the line internet activation reworked.
