Hello omgitvero,
No, your issue is not the same. You are also unlikely to get help by posting in a thread that is a year old and has been marked as answered. That is why in the "Please Read before posting" thread (see the first thread on the main forum page (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads), we ask that all using create their own thread. I have gone ahead and split your post into it's own thread, for you.
As for your issue, Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Vista Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Vista, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Vista was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Vista looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)
B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations. The key must be Activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
Your Vista is using an OEM SLP key, but (for whatever reason) cannot see the special instructions in the computer’s motherboard and is unable to Self-Activate.
To fix the issue, you will need to change out the OEM SLP key with the COA SLP key. The normal way to do this is to click the ‘Start’ button, right-click ‘Computer’, select ‘Properties’ and then click ‘Change Product Key’ (located in the lower right-hand side of the window). Enter the COA SLP key and follow the instructions in the Change Product Key Wizard.
Alternate steps to change the product key
1) Click the Start button
2) Type: slui.exe 3 and hit the Enter key
3) Type in the Product key from the sticker on your computer
4) Click the Next button.
5) You will be asked if want to Activate, click ok
6) It will attempt to Activate by the internet and will return an Invalid Key error (this is ok, continue to step 7)
7) Click the Start button
8) Type: slui.exe 4 and hit the Enter key
9) Select your location in the drop down menu and click the Next button
10) The next screen provides the number to call to Activate by Phone
NOTE: when you call that number, you will first hear an Automated Voice. If the Automated Voice gives you an option to talk to a Live Activation Rep, select that option. If not, do not enter any numbers. This should force the Automated Voice to transfer you to a Live Activation Rep. Trying to Activate thru the Automated Voice will not work, in your case, only thru the Live Activation Rep will your Activation be successful.
Thank you,
Darin MS

Hello omgitsvero,
"just found that the shop that i took my comp to installed windows vista home premium and the product key thats on the sticker on my comp is for windows vista basic."
As I mentioned in my original post:
“A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Vista, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Vista was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Vista looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates.
Your Vista is using an OEM SLP key,”
So, if that "Shop" installed that copy of Vista, using that OEM SLP key, you are a Victim of Piracy.
There is a Vista Hack, out on the internet, that when installed along with an OEM SLP key, makes Vista think it can see the 'special Instructions' in the Motherboard and Vista Self Activates. (meaning people can use or sell Vista without having to pay for it).
Microsoft recently released an Update that makes Vista ignore that type of Activation Hack so that the next time Vista checks for the 'Specal Instructions', it can't find it and Vista will no longer be Activated. Vista then goes into a Grace Period waiting for a Valid Product key to be entered. If no Valid Product key is entered by the end of the Grace Period, Vista goes into a Non-Genuine state as yours is now.I strongly recommend contacting that "shop" and demand the Genuine Microsoft Software that you paid for...Or at the very least, a Refund. You may also want to see if any laws, in your area, were broken by this "shop". Lastly, I encourage you to submit a Piracy Report at http://microsoft.com/piracy against that "shop".
Vary sorry to have to give you this news,

well anyway! i dnt have a start button all i can do is get on the internet so i dnt think i can change the product keys
is there any other way i can do this?Thursday, April 2, 2009 10:56 PM -
Hi omgitsvero,
In that case, instead of step 1) 'Click the Start Button", us:
1) Open the Internet Browser
2) Type: c:\windows\system32\ into the browser's address bar.
3) scroll down till you find the file cmd.exe
4) Rightclick on the cmd.exe file amd select "Run as Administrator"
5) Type: slui.exe 3 and hit the Enter key
6) Type in the Product key from the sticker on your computer
7) Click the Next button.
8) You will be asked if want to Activate, click ok
9) It will attempt to Activate by the internet and may return an Invalid Key error (this is ok, continue on to the end of the wizard)
10) Return to the CMD window
11) Type: slui.exe 4 and hit the Enter key
12) Select your location in the drop down menu and click the Next button
13) The next screen provides the number to call to Activate by Phone
Thank you,
Darin MS
