    hi there,

     

    i bought windows home premium on cd and installed it on my computer. but after a few days i started getting problems. my harddisk was was to small and slow. sow i bought a new one and also bought a soundcard because it didnt work on vista either. With the new harddisk i needed to get vista installed again. so i did. but now all of a sudden, after a few days i get the message that vista was not able to activate! i visited the microsoft site and did a system scan to see if a have a legitime vista. and the website said yes. what should i do?

     

    thanks for the help!

    Perhaps I'm not understanding your issue.  Do help me out.  Smile  From your first post you seem to be having an activation issue.

    Activation is the green part, the part you need help with, and the part you should contact PSS for.  This forum is dedicated to validation, which from what I read above (in blue) you don't seem to have a problem with.  Is that right?
