I recently updated my BIOS and i have to Reactivate Windows Vista home
premium (32bit)

But every time it tries to automaticly activate it tells me the key is
already in use.
 
The key IS in use, by YOU. :)

You need to use the telephone option in the activation dialog to call a toll
free number and activate the key again. Wait on the line until a
representative answers and they will complete the activation for you.

Thanks for the help, worked right away.

I just want to add that i changed the Graphic card and the prosessor in my
computer to, but it didnt need a reactivation untill i updated BIOS.
 
Yep, that's the way it works. If you keep upgrading and swapping stuff out,
you eventually reach the point where Windows thinks it's on a new computer
and needs to be re-activated.
