No hardware changes but Vista asks for new key

Vista says that because of hardware changes, I have to renew my product key.
Trick is, I didn't change anything in my computer!!!
I am now stuck with Vista which is saying that I have 3 days left to
validate my Vista.

HELP, I already tried to register my key again, but, of course, my key is
already in use so MS doesn't accept.
Any body any ideas? I bought Vista in a normal, decent computer store and I
worked with it for 2 months without big problems.
Any ideas?

Thanks from Belgium in advance.
 
You may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which Windows Vista was already activated by a Volume License or OEM
installation:

You will likely have to call it in from now on. When you go to activate
your copy of Vista, it will tell you a phone number you will have to use to
activate it. It can be a little trying to understand some of the people,
but you don't really have much of an option unfortunately.
