Vista RC1 (Re-)Activation Issue after visiting support.microsoft.c

Hi Spirefm, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any 'Genuine Validation Diagnostic' tool from
MS download site. I've found only this link that seems to check IE for
compatibile config:

http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

Could you please send me the right URL to that tool?
Thanks a lot

Hi Spirefm!

Thanks for you reply again! I tried the tool but it seems it's not Vista
compliant
I tried to run the tool as admin too, but nothing changed.
Any further suggestion? Thanks a lot to everybody!

Have you tried using the phone system? (Control panel/system at the bottom).
Probably the automatic system will not activate you but then it hands you
over to an operator who asks a few questions and then gives you the key.

Well, since my build is 5600 I just downloaded the 5728 and as I could get
around that problem I think I will install the new build.
Perhaps a fresh install will solve it
Thanks again
