Vista Ultimate activation problem

Like everyone else, it seems, I have a Vista activation problem. I paid a
fortune to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade as Home Premium was useless. It worked
ok for about a month. Then I got the insulting messages to say it was
illegal, pirated etc. So I put in the product key from the big plastic box
and it accepted it. However, I still have the black screen even though System
says it is activated.
I do not have phone access, so tried to email support but it said I would
have to pay. FAT CHANCE! I've paid enough already. Can someone please advise?
