Hi all,

Well I moved across the nation and now when I start up my Vista partition it wants me to Validate again :( :temper: Where I live now I have to use a USB wireless device. To Validate and use Vista I need to get this working :temper: .

The issue is that Vista sees the router that I am connecting to but keeps making it dial up the DSL! grrr, can I do anything to fix this so I can continue to test Vista?? Thanks all!
 
under IE go to tools, internet options, connections

see if setting it to never dial a connection helps

I do not think I can get that far since I have to Validate Vista when Vista Starts. But I will try and see what I can do there. Thanks
 
there shoukd be a number to call microsoft and get it validated when you get to the screen. just call em up and tell them whats up.

Have you tried getting into safemode? Validation should not be a factor there..

No I have not. I will try this.

AI gotta see if it's not just a dial up or Fax number than I will try that cause It just will not connect.
 
That worked
