I brought me a copy of windows vista premium and I activated it on an
previous computer , but it got broken so I took it to the shop and had it
fixed with a different motherboard, tower,but the same two hard drives in it.
The program was installed a second time and I have to activate it , but I
already have with the product key and now it says when I activated it the the
product key is already in use and I have to have another one or buy it online
(which is the last thing I want to do). The activation period has already
expired and I can't access my computer without activating it and to make
things worse it says the this copy of windows is not genuine. What do I do to
take care of this problem?

Is it OEM or retail? Either way you'll have to phone in for activation.
Tell them what happened and see if they will activate it.
