This weekend I reinstalled Windows Vista becuase of a reinstalation of my whole PC (without Windows XP this time). First of al I had to activate my product by phone (the helpdesk employee didn't talk good english and I was expecting a dutch employee becuase I dailed a dutch nummer) while I was installing Windows Vista on the same computer. Second, Windows asked me to reactivate my product a few days later after I updated my BIOS. The second activation went without trouble, it was done within a few minutes via the internet.
Everything is working good now but when I tried to start a game (Command & Conquer 3) Vista said it had some problems with Aero and that I needed to check my Windows Vista with the Genui Advantage. However, Genui says I need to activate my product first before using the Genui tool but Windows Vista says my product is already activated.
How can this be? I got my Windows Vista from MSDNAAA (student MSDN) and I only installed Vista on one computer.
I used the diagnostic tool and this is the result:
