Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)

In U.S.
Sony with Vista Business, Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, six months
with no problems.

Today I see surprise warning that Vista must be
validated. What? Cannot use internet but must do
telephone. Many numbers. I enter all correct, but not
valid. Human came on line and we have speaking problem.
I ask to speak slow and she hang up.

Now what. How to find human without whole process again.

Thank you.

Now why would they hang up if you asked them to speak slow? Something else
must have happened. Did you have an attitude? Kinda sounds like it.

Call back without that bitchy attitude and maybe they will help you.

Just FYI

Seņor, that it is you with attitude. You assume much,
and wrong also. Is that your life? Very unhappy I think.

Filters work even validate problems. Goodby.

Why would they hang up on you? They are there to help and they only hang up
if the customer is rude or bitchy.

So which is it?

Please follow this troubleshooting procedure:

1. Download and run the MGA Diagnostic Tool: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
2. After running the MGA Diagnostic Tool, click on the "Windows" tab and then click on "Copy".
3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the "WGA Validation Problems" forum and
paste the results of the WGA Diagnostic Data in a detailed post.
http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/default.aspx?SiteID=25
4. A WGA troubleshooting specialist will analyze the data and recommend an appropriate solution.

Cheers.

Try the MGA tool posted above or just call back. I have called numerous
times in the past and never had a problem. They have ALWAYS fixed me
right up.
