Windows vista (URGENT)!!!!

Alright well this is really getting to a point where I feel as if I am getting ripped off I have purchased my computer way back in 2008 and guess what of course my harddrive died so I had to re-install Windows Vista on my computer everything was cool was not acting up, and then I go to look at my Operating system after I installed my new parts in my computer and it told me [NOT REGISTERED] so I said thats alright I go into register it and it says the cd key is invalid so not only can I not register I can't use my computer to the full functionality,

Ive tried contacting Microsoft they want me to buy tech support which I am not paying to fix this,

I tried calling Gateway they said they can't help me.

So im stuck guys please help.

It may well be a case of http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-vista-phone.html , now im not 100% sure but im of the opinion that this phone call if free unless you are using a mobile
