I have Vista premium installed on old mobo and a Pentium 4 3.0; I have aquired a new Asus mobo and Pentium D 2.8; Can I just move HDD with Vista installed, old graphics adapter, memory and modem to the new mobo without problems? will Microsoft object? will I have to reinstall Vista?

I dont think there will be an issue as long as you provide the proper driver for the MB. Pre-Installed Vista should work with your H/W change.

You will need to re-install and you will need to re-activate (if it fails rung up MS on the number provided and explain, they will be ok)
TRY MY SUGGESTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Do you mean I'll have to scrub the disk and do a "clean" install? I have done that many times in XP and others, but never on Vista.

probably. A "repair" install might work.

Yes a repair install should be sufficient which will leave your data and settings in tact. But you should do a backup of everything you can't do without before upgrading to your new mobo.
