I have a 2-yr old M1330 that I dropped, and had hard drive replaced.  The tech installed Windows Vista but now I need my activation code.  The label on the bottom of my computer is wearing off and 2 or three digits are hard to read.  I keep getting error messages when i try to activate.  I am out of warranty.  It seems that after spending more than $1900 on a computer, I am now being asked to spend another $200 for another activation code.  Anyone know how to deal with this?  I currently own 5 Dell machines with 5 Vista licenses and feel just a bit put out.
