authentication failed 0xb00705b4

Hello,
I have just installed Windows Vista Preview on my PC, install seemed to go fine. I am missing a few drivers but I can load up OK. But now it asks me to enter my product ID again, I do this, this is a very long pause then it says:
Authentication failed with the following error: 0xB00705B4
What does this mean? Do you need more details from me to help answer this query?

You have a good point. And, at one time during the x64 CPP's Microsoft stated they were going to start posting the MD5Sums, and a couple other check sums, for all their downloads so people could verify the package before they put it to disc.
I wonder what ever happened to the promise? Maybe white man speak with forked tongue?

Is there some sort of time limit from the time tiy download the betas to the time you have to authenticate it? I find find anything regarding the code above. Can anyone help please?

I've sorted it, I tried method 1 from here: http://blogs.microsoft.nl/tonykrijnen/archive/2006/06/19/1795.aspx.
Do I need to enable it once I'm in? I'm having problems activating Vista now.
