Hello,
My name is Nadav Peretz, i'm from Israel and i've signed-up to Windows Vista
RC 1.
I Got a genuine product key and it worked great for the first 3 or 4 months.
Then it started to make some problems..
Okey, Let's start with this. Look at the picture below and look what is it
saying (I marked the improtant spot)

Now look at the other picture describing the problem:

Well, now how can I activate this if it's already activated...?
I've contacted Microsoft Israel but they don't support the windows vista
beta products.
If someone can help me, I'll appreciate it very much.

Regards,
- Nadav Peretz

P.S: I'm sorry for my horrible English

Hi Nadav,

Unfortunately, you are between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Support
for the preview program is limited to North America until the public release
of the final product at the end of January. This is an unsupported beta
product, and as such may require that you format your system to remove it
and install a different OS. You may have reached that point.

Your images did not come through, but that is not of importance if you can
just give an apt description. Do you know why it has started requesting
activation? Did you change hardware? Reinstall Vista? Please quote the exact
text of the message you are looking at.

Best of Luck,

and the 2nd one:

Are you sure I have to format my system?
By the way, when it happened I didnt did anything. Just activated my
computer and it started doing this.

This is weird, now I activated Windows. I Can download stuff from
Microsoft.com and everything related to that, but I still get that error that
I cant use Aero style and it still says "This copy of windows is not genuine"
on the bottom of the screen. :\
