Windows Vista Upgrade Problems


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a Compaq Presario SR5050NX PC with Windows Vista Home

Premium installed. I activated it after I got everything set-up. I tried

using the Windows Upgrade Disc that came with the system and it told me to

enter in the Vista product key, which I did EXACTLY, but it wont allow me to

continue saying that the key cannot be activated/accepted. What gives? And

I have already asked for help from HP and they have told me to ask Microsoft.

Error message when you try to activate Windows Vista: "An error has occurred"

Activation fails when you try to activate Windows Vista or Windows Longhorn Server over

the Internet
