Don't know what has happened!!! Some malware??? when I restarted my computer, this is what I get: I get stuck with a "Windows Activation" window. "An unauthorized change was made to Windows. You must retype your Windows Vista product key to activate." But, it then says that my product key is invalid. And takes me to a M$ window to activate it, but i can't do what that window says.
THEN, I get this: Activate Windows and validate again (Hide Details) 1. *Activate Windows* You can activate either online or by phone. To activate online you need an Internet connection. Activating by phone requires interacting with an automated phone system. To activate Windows on this computer: - Click the *Start * button, right-click *Computer*, click *Properties*, click *Click here to activate Windows now*. Windows Activation opens. - Select the method you want to use to activate, and then follow the prompts or instructions on the screen. 2. *Validate Again* Once Windows is activated, validate your copy of Windows again by going to http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine<http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.aspx?displaylang=en>and clicking *Validate Windows*. but, I don't have the Start button (cuz that activation screen comes up first!) and it doesn't give the &)#*&# phone number!!!!
