The fact that firefox cannot access or properly display some sites is
not the fault of firefox, but the fault of either ie-centric coding or
browser sniffers that cause lack of access. One would have thought that
these issues might have died away by now, but they have not.

I am experiencing the exact same problem as described by the OP. The
only difference is that I am running Vista Business with SP1 32bit. I
have made no hardware changes whatsoever since my successful activation.
Also the OS seems to be running great and I really like using it. The
only problem is that it lost its activation and I cannot reactivate.

I will attempt to go through the process outlined above and see what I
can find out. In the meantime, has anyone found any new information
regarding this issue and/or a possible resolution?

Thanks!

Another installment of your usual rantings. If Microsoft won't even take any
notice of you then why should any one on this newsgroup?

i am not sure how to get around this issue at the moment, because i have
never ran into it in the final release of vista. but i have ran into this
issue once in the issue while i was beta testing vista. if you want, since I
have some contacts at microsoft I can talk to them for you and see if I can
find A fix for this particular activation issue. I am only offering because
I have seen this particular issue pop up one too many times in the microsoft
news groups and i do not think microsoft does anything about it.

First of all how are you upgrading your PC from XP to Vista?
are you just using a normal Vista upgrade CD?
and what version of Vista is it? and is it an OEM CD?

oddly some OEM copies of windows have trouble with activating. I had trouble
with activating this one particular OEM copy of Windows XP SP1b. for some
odd reason if I did not have a LAN connection for the PC durring
installation and activate it then, i would have trouble activating it later.
in fact after windows finished installing, i would get an error where i
could not activate windows and that the activation key or regitration key
was invalide. then after three failed attemts or so at trying to activate
windows, my OEM copy of windows became non-genuine.

I had this same issue once while beta testing vista, so instead of
performing an upgrade, I just did a clean install. a good thing about
Windows installation CDs, even the upgrade CDs is that you can always
perform clean installs from them or Operating System upgrades. It just
depends on your system configuration and stuff.

If you want to perform a clean installation from an upgrade CD, the
installation will ask you for a copy of an older copy of an installation CD
of windows (Like Windows XP or Windows 2000) in order to continue the
installation.

Steven Wabik
