A drastic hardware change, like a motherboard, often requires a
new/fresh reintall of the OS; you can force it to limp along, but others
seem to indicate, it's not worth it; the OS gets buggy and clunky.

Use the telephone activation system. That should allow you to re-activate
your copy of Vista without further ado.

This is because the drivers for your old motherboard are not the same as
your new one.

This is because your product key is linked to your hardware. If you
change the hardware you will need to activate by telephone and explain
what you did. They will probably give you no trouble.

When you try to activate over the net and it fails (because your license is
already in use), the message gives you the phone number to call. I believe
it changes according to the country you are calling from. So just re-run the
activation process again.

Husam

Start the activation process and when the automatic activation fails, you
will see the telephone option and the number will be displayed on that
screen. The numbers are different in different areas.
