Hi, i installed vista on a virtual PC 2004. It wants to activate the vista os but, the computer i use at work doesn't have internet connection. Is there anyway you can activate other than the internet?
Hi, I'm afraid that currently it's not possible. If you call the customer service, they will tell you that they do not provide activation for Vista yet. So currently the only option is to activate through the internet. If that's not possible... You have no other chance (for beta 1). -- Jabez Gan BetaID: 507323 "Houston Lucifer" wrote in message news:A19A99B9-D4B7-4636-8496-26C02024BD41@microsoft.com... > Hi, i installed vista on a virtual PC 2004.

Try and get an ethernet connection going and then try activating. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Houston Lucifer" wrote in message news:5C6ADAFF-8577-4A8C-8D2B-AD04C6812ECA@microsoft.com... > Thanks. > > "Jabez Gan" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm afraid that currently it's not possible.
