I am suddenly getting error code 0xC004F050 that my product key is
invalid. I bought my laptop in Feb. from Best Buy and Vista was
pre-loaded. I installed an update (service pack???) today and used my
computer for several hours. Then suddenly this error! I've put in the
key several times and nothing! I can't access anything except the
internet!! Can anyone help? I'm a teacher and I was typing a test for
tomorrow!!!

Thanks!
Wendy :cry:

If it is Vista SP1 that you have installed, causing the problems, above is
MS's free email, chat and US phone number for help

Hi,

Are you using a KMS key? The error code indicates that it was not entered
correctly. If so, you need to check with your network admin to resolve this.
