I tried and had no luck, I got error code 800a01a8, object required:
'g_objwmiservice'. I was on the phone with microsoft last night and they
really couldnt help me, even with the cmd promt. We tried system restore but
the
shadow copy was not valid. Pretty much out of ideas at this point the were
willing to refund the money so i could go buy a retail copy instead of the
digital locker version.

i cannot get to the desktop, the reduced functionality is just ie7 that
cannot connect to the internet. the activation wiazzard that pops up about
every 50 restarts now does not list a phone number nor a code for them to use
to validate the os. im not sure of the bild string but if you could tell me
how to display it from cmd I will gladly tell you when.

the same thing happened to me. I cannot activate windows because it says my copy of Vista is not genuine. Is there any place to get help for that?

already activated.open command prompt(start/run/type'slui 4)the activation
window will appear.phone for activation and it should solve the problem,it
worked for me.

You are a narrow minded piss ant.

If you have a real solution shut-up or say something smarter than a flea brain idiot would say.

Well, according to some, this never happens to anyone but "thieves" and
"victims". According to some MVPs, this never happens despite the multitude
of complainers on the MS Genuine Windows Advantage forum.

So, thank you for being our first complaint.

Assuming you are not a thief and are attempting to run a pirated copy of
Vista, just pick up the phone and call MS. You'll be fixed in 10 minutes,
tops! Oh, wait, you already did that and they "couldn't help you."

So you are left having to use the means provided by MS to illegally extend
your trial period to get to a point where you can get help.

Just remember... "It's not a kill switch."

~~~~~~~
So, on to your problem...
First of all, limited functionality should not take you to a stand
still. Even the worst case of "ehanced limited functionality" should still
enable you to connect to the internet for up to one-hour. (I have never
witnessed this, but that's what is written up on the topic. Some like to post
that if it hasn't happened to them, it never happens.)

If you can reconnect to Digital Locker, you should be able to reinstall
the upgrade, unless you do not have a disk. (I hope you burned a disk.)
If not, go to a computer that can connect, download the product from the
digital locker and burn it to a DVD. Re-install.
Or, borrow a disk. Anyone can try Vista from any Vista disk, but to
authenticate and continue to use, you need a valid Product ID (a license.)
Use the disk to upgrade to the version you bought and use your Product ID
during installation. Then, activate.

Activation is part of the agreement. If you don't activate, woe unto you.


The real question is:
How did you get to this point?
Pirate?
Victim?
Installed a bad driver?

We all want to know.
