Can someone please offer me advise on how to get my computer out of

Another problem while I'm writing this is, my computer's Task Manager

grayed out, how can I activate it so it can be used?
Thanks for your help and/or advise in advance.
Hi Stan,
Stange. If your Vista is activated, then it should not be in RFM. This
tutorial may help you get out of it.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply, I looked over the information you sent and read your
comments, I agree, Vista should not be in RFM once it is activated. I paid
over $400 for Vista Ultimate and I be damned if I buy another Product Key
from Microsoft for a product that should work out of the box. If I reinstall
I lose all important data if I don't back it up or move it, that ranges right
now nearly 750GBs, It won't do an upgrade so I don't lose my stuff, it want
to do a clean (new) install, one of my friends did that and Vista wouldn't
accept his Product key again, told him it was for Windows Server 2008, or if
wasn't a valid key.
All I want is to get my desktop functions back. I've never been so
disappointed in a product as I am Windows Vista. Since I've install SP1 that
nullifies the RFM if I'm reading these comments correctly.
Like so many others before me, Apple MAC is looking better and better, never
hear any problems with their OS, as it stands today, I'd never recommend
Vista to my company or our clients, it's a nightmare.
I'll work this out or trash this mess, write it off as a bad experience and
move on to a more reliable OS.
Again thanks for the advise, sorry for the rant, but this is quite
frustrating
Regards
