I got this message "The Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed is
invalid for activiation" and then gave me 3 options
"access your computer with reduced functionality
type a different product key ( i tried this one but still gave me the same
message)
Contact microsot to help resolve this problem"
and i guess this is what i am doing...

These newsgroups are not staffed by Microsoft support representatives.

You need to click the "Contact Microsoft" link on that activation window.
You will be given a toll free phone number to call. Stay on the line until a
representative answers. They will get the computer activated for you.

Hi Nami,

As Ronnie stated, you will need to do a phone activation.  This
tutorial will show you how to do it step by step.

I tried all kinds of solutions posted on the net, and only found one that
works!  Try the solution(s) posted here:

It was step set 3 that worked for me.  Good luck!
