    windows telling me to activate itself... while already activated?


    I've had my computer for almost 5 years now, and I've run into problems, but they were always small issues with the hard drive or a few drivers needed to be updated. now, I've run into a problem a bit bigger than that. a couple days ago i ran into the glitch where my windows was telling me it would expire in the next while, but i fixed that and it was running fine, until windows started telling me to activate itself with the activation key.I've posted a picture along with this for further help

    :)

    Windows Activation?

    Windows will do this if it detects a significant (their word, questionable use) hardware change, and will ask you to reactivate.

    After a key has been activated X number of times, you will have to call to activate it.

    Couple of tips for the phone call: You can use your keypad, and when they're telling you keys, instead of saying "Repeat that" and "Continue" type 1 and 2. With these tips, that activation call will only last you about 4 and a half minutes.

    Windows activation . . .

    In the Windows activation status page is it still showing as activated, or do you have something like 3 days to do it in?

    Windows Vista Activation

    I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
    wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
    Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.
