valid product key Vista no for activation

Off my laptop while it updates installed, I turned on and typed my password and was presented with a window telling me that the "windows vista product key I typed is invalid for activation. However, I never typed in a product key.

(I had a problem with my computer over Christmas where I had to get my computer sent in as there was a problem with the sound card.)

He gave me three options:

1 continue with a reduced function of windows programs (do not do this)

Type 2 in the different product key (tent twice with the computers product portable key but did not work)

3 contact Dell (letting know!)

I hope someone will help me with this problem. All comments will be greatly appreciated.

You make the right choice by contacting Dell.
