My email is

The problem is thar windows vista do not let me pass, it is asking me for a
new licence number, it says that there was a change on my licence and I have
to retype it, it says that I can find the number on the box label, but as I
said I bought the lap top with the vista preinstaled.

Ther is an option that let me run the internet explored, I tried to run the
cmd with it, but it opens a new window and then the window just close, I
tried to open the cmd that way several times but with the same result.

Probably I am doing somethin wrong.....

Hi Gescandon,

This will show you how to get out of Reduced Functionality Mode. After
you are out, see if you can activate Vista then.

Isn't there a way to run a program against the registry
to read the current key ID number and then entering
it so the computer would startup?

later.....

Hi Charles,

There is, but it I do not believe re-entering the product key number in
this case will help since it thinks the key is already in use. You would
have to reset (rearm) it, using the method above, for Vista to accept
the product key number again.

Hi,

If you bought a laptop preloaded with Vista, the Product Key should be on a
sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
