used trial key?! no!!! help help help!!!

Never should have tried it. Sigh- vista ultimate is so disappointing...
However, now that I bought the expensive disk, I installed it, something
went wrong, then reinstalled it, and now there is this message saying my
product key is already in use, but I never even got to use it! Is there any
way I can take back that activation or something? I hope I don't get ripped
of 500 dollars at megabyte...
sigh... so disappointing.

Use the Telephone activation method and you should be fine

Follow the on screen instruction. Dial the tool free number, input the
number from you package, it will tell you again that it is in use (your
previous installation). Wait for a human, tell the human that you are
reinstalling, the human will give you a long set of number to input you are
set up again.
Max of ten minutes, usually only a couple.
