Vista will lock if the mainboard has been replaced.
This is so that it won't be used on 2 or more PCs with 1 license.
You need to erase the hard drive & re-install Vista ... then call Microsoft for re-activation.

well i think there may be a hacking virus in which the hacker has used the corrupted file to get into your computer. but another thing is that you shouldn't have gotten vista right now. since it has just released you cant trust it totally. there are many problems in this OS that the programmers still need to fix. when XP released it had many problems in the start too.

One license per one computer!
Hardware changes will do this. Vista might think its another computer.
