Trouble activating vista 32bit RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello, I have recently replace my hard drive as my old one had failed. I have reinstalled vista and used my original activation code, however I get the error code 0XC004F063. I have updated my BIOS to the latest version but still no luck. I need my PC for work and can't afford to have to fail, but I will not pay microsoft £46 to talk to them about their products, so can anyone here help me?

  • Hello FLIB1,

      In order to receive the best support, we request all users initially download and run the Genuine Diagnostics tool (MGADiag.exe) at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012. Click "Continue", click the "Copy" button then “Paste” the report into a reply message in this thread.

     

    If you do not have access to the Start Button:

    1)    Login to Vista and click the option that brings up Internet Explorer.

    2)    Type: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 into the browser address bar.

    3)    A window will come up asking if you want to “Run” or “Save”, Select “Run”

    4)    When the program runs, click the “Continue” button, then click the “Copy” button.

    5)    Return to this thread http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/thread/6B8200B5-B620-44EE-9BA5-0EB448019491.

    6)    In a reply post, paste the Diagnostic Report.

    Thank you,
