Norton Internet Security(AntiVirus) 2005 - How do I reinstall?

I get an error saying to uninstall and reinstall Norton AntiVirus (part of Internet Security).
 
I tried doing the other 2 solutions according to the Symantec website but it didnt work.
 
The problem is that I never recieved an applications CD or a Norton CD with my Dell. It was pre-installed. How can I reinstall Norton after I uninstall it?
 
I saw that you could download Norton AntiVirus from the Symantec Website but I think I would need to get my subscription information and such before I go ahead with that.

You also might want to look at a different anti virus program...Nortons has been known for problems including being a resource hog and difficult to uninstall completely...I got rid of Nortons, and purchased PC-Cillin Internet Security for around $49.00, and it has been rated above Nortons in a resent computer mag.  Just a thought for you

I never got a resource CD for this either, and its not on any of the Dell resource CDs.
 
I did find this article:
 
Reading my invoice again shows I got a NIS2004 90 day trial OEM.  So I might as well go to Symantec and download whatever and buy a license through there.
 
boggle.

Nevermind I got it fixed,
I called Dell support phone line and customer care was able to send me out a CD. Just waiting on the arrival now.
