I bought my laptop in February with windows vista preinstalled. Then after 30 days my compter wouldn't work because it never accepted my product key. So I reinstalled windows vista premium and yet again product key invalid even though I could validate it. I've called the automated phone system three times and still cannot activate. I know this forum is suppose to be for validation problems but I cannot find any information about the problem I am encountering except for here and Windows Support doesn't help because they want me to pay.
The diagnostic tool comes up with this
