Activation


Since I had only 2 days left to activate Windows, it was decided to call Microsoft and correct the problem. My Vista Ultimate copy is definitely legal and major hardware changes have been experienced. This took an hour or so, but the fellow that helped was articulate and patient. Hopefully, this will be the last time such a procedure is necessary. There are no plans for changes to this PC before Windows 7 appears. Even though the process was long and a lot of time was spent on hold, it was not that bad.

If you need to activate by phone the number is 1-866-740-1256. Suffer through the automated stuff. It doesn't work. You'll need to get someone on the telephone for results.
