You click on it and it will take you to a page to register your Vista with Microsoft.

If you have used a licensed copy of VISTA then you might have got the error message...the reason behind this can be the ip address of your pc has been registered with microsoft and at the same time you have registered the same license key with a diff ip..
If you are using a pirated copy then I dont even want to go to the details..

VISTA is causing a few probs hey, be careful, people have installed vista upgrading from xp and are finding that some of their hardware ie printers and such as just arent compatible so thats why its best generally to get a machine thats got vista preinstalled onto it.
Visit www.majorgeeks.com i usually drfit over to there if i get in a jam, i find them to be a top class site with a wonderful atmosphere. As ive said to folks before if it involves signing up with a free webmail address and supplying your name then go ahead, i can recommend it as an essential site for any pc user, nooby or hardcore teccy. see ya there if ya do, im kestrel

The key for the software is probably good for only one install. Since the new computer has been activated and it identifies with that one you will not be able to activate it on another computer.
