If you are watching this error, then your product key is not valid with your version of Windows Vista.
To get through this problem follow these steps.
Determine whether you have 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows Vista.
To do this, follow these steps:
-
Click Start.
-
Type System in the start search box and then choose system from the search list.
-
For a 64 bit version operating system, 64 bit Operating system appears for the system type under system.
-
For a 32 bit version operating system, 32 bit operating system appears for the system type Under system.
-
See the product packaging determine which version product key is available (32 bit, or 64 bit).
-
If the versions are separate like you have 32 bit version and the product key is for 64 bit version then this doesn't help you will have to buy valid product key.
