the same thing happened to me. I cannot activate windows because it says my copy of Vista is not genuine. Is there any place to get help for that?

i solved my problem by activating vista by phone although it said it was
already activated.open command prompt(start/run/type'slui 4)the activation
window will appear.phone for activation and it should solve the problem,it
worked for me.
 
if you really do have a genuine version and you have the product key (and it keeps telling you it's invalid or whatever) click on the limited functionality option...

it should give you an error message saying it can't connect to the address.. blah blah.. and firefox or ie will open up saying this webpage cannot be displayed.

this is good.

type "c:" in the address bar and hit enter.

I'm on a laptop, so this might be why this worked for me.. I use network magic to connect to networks. I scrolled down to program files, then went to the pure networks folder, and hit the exe file for network magic- had to 'save' it, and start it, then was able to search for networks, which I found, and connect. from here, go back to the window where it tells you to verify. At this point, type in your product key and it will verify, activating windows vista again. :) yay.

This is yet one more "twilight zone" post from

Posts from that domain/IP have materialized here every now and then
for the past year or so. Many appear to be private email.

You are a narrow minded piss ant.

If you have a real solution shut-up or say something smarter than a flea brain idiot would say.

Well, according to some, this never happens to anyone but "thieves" and
"victims". According to some MVPs, this never happens despite the multitude
of complainers on the MS Genuine Windows Advantage forum

So, thank you for being our first complaint

Assuming you are not a thief and are attempting to run a pirated copy of
Vista, just pick up the phone and call MS. You'll be fixed in 10 minutes,
tops! Oh, wait, you already did that and they "couldn't help you.

So you are left having to use the means provided by MS to illegally extend
your trial period to get to a point where you can get help

Just remember... "It's not a kill switch.

~~~~~~
So, on to your problem..
First of all, limited functionality should not take you to a stand
still. Even the worst case of "ehanced limited functionality" should still
enable you to connect to the internet for up to one-hour. (I have never
witnessed this, but that's what is written up on the topic. Some like to post
that if it hasn't happened to them, it never happens.)

If you can reconnect to Digital Locker, you should be able to reinstall
the upgrade, unless you do not have a disk. (I hope you burned a disk.
If not, go to a computer that can connect, download the product from the
digital locker and burn it to a DVD. Re-install
Or, borrow a disk. Anyone can try Vista from any Vista disk, but to
authenticate and continue to use, you need a valid Product ID (a license.)
Use the disk to upgrade to the version you bought and use your Product ID
during installation. Then, activate

Activation is part of the agreement. If you don't activate, woe unto you

The real question is
How did you get to this point
Pirate
Victim
Installed a bad driver

We all want to know
