I recently upgraded to Microsoft Vista and activated it. Now I want to upgrade my video card, will it just be a matter of uninstalling drivers and installing the new card? or do I need to re-activate Windows Vista after?|||When you first activate windows, it sends information about hardware to MIcrosoft. If you make a lot of upgrades in a short period of time, windows will think it's being installed on a totally different computer. In that case, you should call the folks at microsoft and convince them you're not staeling their software.
You will still have to install some drivers,l though. Refer to the owners manual for drivers.|||With Vista, all bets are off. Anything that is supposed to happen might not. If Microsoft has their way, you will have to buy a new copy of Windows each time you sneeze.|||No, you will not have to reactivate if all you've changed is the video card. Reactivation only happens if you change more than one device (4 or more) since you first activated.
