    I installed Windows 7 on an SSD drive and already had Vista 64 Ultimate running on another drive. Wanted dual boot. Win 7 worked fine, but now when I boot Vista, it tells me that my activation has run out or something. I can't get anywhere! What do I have to do to get back to Vista?

    Thanks - the activation is now fixed with that patch, but I am still getting the NOT GENUINE in the corner of the screen. Any idea how to fix this?

    This computer is not hooked up to the net. Any other way?
