You forgot to tell WHY you can't use that key on the desktop. Maybe the keyboard isn't working?
Another question: why do you think that backing up or even updating drivers will solve issues with "lost registry, files etc."? Seems HIGHLY unlikely to me. I.m afraid you just wasted $29.95.
How did you lose your registry and files and etc?

bought D/M on 8.21.11 & downloaded same on this desktop to try & recover lost registry. files, etc. Can't get to my email on this computer, but can access eMail on my laptop. Have key delivered on laptop but can't use it on my desktop to validate purchase of $29.95. What do I do to get program valideated on desktop?
