    Hi everybody,

    Odd situation here.......

     

    System is 6 months old running Vista home premium which was installed activated and validated when built.

    Yesterday it came up with a message saying that it's running a beta version of Vista that has expired and I'll have to buy a new copy.

     

    Nothing has changed hard/software wise, the product key used was from the dvd pack I bought with the rest of the hardware and used at installation. Its stuck on top of the box.

     

    Suggestions would be most helpful.

    It's now working again. I didn't need to do the above.

     

    Thanks.

     

    However, this Windows live nonsense has p****ed me off slightly more.
