Still getting the same problem: Windows says the key isn't valid, and I enter the key from the sticker and am told "The product key you have entered does not appear to be a valid Windows Vista product key".
There are a few other problems on this machine, so I may try restoring to the factory image and see if that helps at all. I've included the current MGADiag report. It might take a while, as I think he needs the laptop back on Monday.
