I re0installed Windows Vista with the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" CD and now
its telling me to activate windows. So I looked at the back of the laptop
where it says "Product Key:" and typed down the key. It then says its
invalid. I have read the product key again from the laptop back and even used
a magnifying glass, but everytime i typed it down and press "next", it just
says its invalid. What should i do? buying a new product key is too
expensive.help!

This question was posted on a Vista Windows Tech Forum. I read all 18 answers and not one was correct. the correct answer is : Reference to key word upgrade. (1.) install with NO KEY, then reinsert the DVD and click (2.) Upgrade then insert the "UPGRADE KEY" THIS QUESTION is answered on Page 4 of the Upgrade Manual...

It is very sad that most not all people whom have problems
1. DO NOT READ THE MANUAL.
2. DO NOT READ THE EULA
3. DO NOT READ INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Do not Belong to Vista Babble Forum.
