Windows Vista Avoid repeated Requests For activation
February 9th, 2008 Posted in How To, Windows Vista
This behavior is the result of the following: when a program with administrator rights removes a certain system setting, the BIOS validity test fails and Windows needs the license to be activated again. Microsoft has rectified this error and offers and update. This can be downloaded form www.microsoft.com/downloads. Search for ‘KB931573′ on the site, change the language to English on the relevant page and click on ‘Download’ Install the update and restart the computer. If the problem has accursed and if you have used the product key for manual activation, you cannot get away without reactivating Windows Vista via telephone.
