You have three options IMO... 1. Use the phone activation option .... 2. Do nothing, and take the chance that your OS will stop functioning... 3. Return the laptop for an exchange... Good Luck..

Most Best Buys have the Geek Squad counter near customer support. I can't speak for all of them, but that runs the counter at the Best Buy I go to is really smart. I've seen him fix a couple problems right there at the counter. Seeing as you just bought the computer they should help.
Also, their should be a sticker on the bottom of the computer with the product key for your copy of Windows. Go to system > activate windows/change product key.
If all else fails, contact Toshiba. YOu should have at least a 1 year warranty with them if you really did just buy your computer.
ok, so I restarted and it popped up the activation thing..so i did the phone activation thing and im not verified..im still very tempted to get the "ultimate" version tho..
You don't seem to be following along with what others are suggesting. Did you try entering the key from the bottom of your laptop and doing the online activation? Did you try going through the phone activation completely?
yeah i did all that...the key on the laptop wasn't valid or something and told me to go do the phone thing so i did the complete phone thing and after all of it i had no error messages and it said "congrats your version of win 7 is now activated"
dunno...im like a prep working on a semi truck when it comes to this computer stuff...
