problem with my dell downloads, "service tag is already registered or is invalid"

Ok,

So i have an Inspiron N5040, and i reinstalled Windows 7 back in july because it was acting up.

I reinstalled all the drivers, and recently found out that you can reinstall the software that came on your computer when you first got it.

So when i try to go to my dell downloads and try to download it, i get the following mesage "service tag is already registered or is invalid"

I would really apreciate anyone that could help me solve this problem.
