Hello Neowin, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It sounds like you are in what is called Reduced Functionality Mode. This usually happens when you do not activate Vista within 30 days of installing it.

If you still do not have internet connection for it, or the above link does not help, then you can do a phone activation.

Hope this helps,
