I keep getting an error message while...

I am currently running Vista, which I bought on a PC that came with the free upgrade. I am currently trying to validate my OS, yet I keep receiving an error message. It says:

We're sorry, the following error(s) have occurred:

I tried validating a couple of weeks ago and received the same message. How do I correct this?

Why would you need to validate Vista - if it came pre installed, it would already be activated.

Are you trying to get HP to process the free upgrade? - I think they only do that at a certain date - check the info on the HP site , or that came with the machine.
