Re-activating Vista problems

After upgrading memory to 4GB from 2GB and installing a new video card
GeForce 9600GSO, Vista asked me to re-activate due to a hardware change. I
re-activated and things were good. I kept on getting the re-activate message,
and after a few times of re-activating, it now tells me that my product key
is already in use. What happened? Any way to solve this? Don't think I shoud
fork out the money for a new key when my version of windows is genuine.

Call Microsoft and they will re-activate over the phone

Thought about this, but I was worried that it may come up again to
re-activate. Was wondering if the recent upgrades are causing this problem.

Very likely they are, but you'll still need to call and activate. If it
comes up in the future, you call just again.

Sorry you are wrong. You use Linux so you are an idiot. Da Lamb Chop and
Da Baboon are fictional creatures created in your warped mind.

Not that I'm aware of. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "I was worried
that it may come up again to
re-activate."
I've activated many times by telephone....

So what you are saying is you have screwd up your system so many times, you
need to keep reactivating over the phone? I told you to stay away from
running your computer as an Administrator. You can really mess things up as
you have confirmed.
