wierd problems in vista 64??

[the baggins]

hi all, im having soem wierd problems with my vista 64bit,

it started when i cleared the cmos (un related issue!) and it wouldnt let me use msn, and lots of web pages were coming up with security alerts and stuff, upon running help, it said there was a problem because i had forgot to re-set the bios clock. so i re set it, but didnt help. so, sod it i re-installed windows.

with the fresh install, its still giving me trouble! it wont allow me to update it, and wont let me install msn.

it gives me the error code 0x80072f8f or 80072f8f. upon searching the microsoft website etc it says all about the time difference and stuff. but the computer clock is set correctly (as per microsoft website advise) and the bios clock is set correctly now.

grr! what am i doing wrong? ive only been using vista for a few weeks, so not really used to it yet!

Check in Control Panel then in System Icon your Vista is still activated,if not you might have to give them a phone call to get a new activation key.

i tried looking where you said,

it says, 3 days untill automatic activation, activate now.

so i click it, and it gives me the same error code.

so does that mean im gonna have to ring them up? oh man! i hate ringing places like this! and no doubt stay on hold for a hundred years! anyone got the phone number?
