Hi fellow VUEers!

I have an ATI Radeon HD 3800 series graphics card on a Quad Core 8 GB Ram system running Vista Home Premium.

Yesterday I bought the upgrade from Vue 6 infinite, downloaded and installed the program suite and the extras CD.
I then copied all folders from Vue 6 infinite which bear the same name as in the extras CD folder (e.g. Atmospheres, objects, plants etc) into the extras CD folder.

Upon launching the software a warning window popped up, warning me that my graphics card  wasn't compatible. I decided to find out if there would be problems and continued.
Vue 7 infinite seemed to work well and I started exploring the new features.
I went into the graphics options and in fact jacked up the display options to maximum.

I then enjoyed a fantastic performance in preview mode with smooth shaded models in all 4 windows.

When doing some test renders, the program crashed several times. I then reverted to Open GL software acceleration in wireframe mode. Thus I was back to my old orientation problems while compositing the scene but it didn't crash any more at least. Or so I thought.

Vue kept crashing.I saved scenes along almost every step. After just another crash I started in compatibility mode. I set up a nice scene for a final quality render, pressed "render", watched the render fill the screen for some time and went to sleep.

This morning there was no finished render and no Vue 7 infinite running. Apparently the software had crashed and the machine rebooted.Or my second daughter managed to push the power button. ;) I don't know.

The problem: Vue informed me that I had a bad activation number (remember that from the last system migration, I HAD activated Vue 7 infinite online before, just started as administrator now.But now the system freezes and crashes upon launch.What should I do?
