Obtaining Dells factory software

About a week after I received my new Dell Studio 540 I got an error message while ruining the Dell Safe Local backup.  It said that I need to run the restore disk that came with my computer.  So like a idiot I did.  It restore Windows 7 but wiped out everything else I had on my computer.  I even tried to restore a previous backup.  I did get some of the stuff I had restored but not any of the drivers or software that came with it or I installed.  I had to reinstall all my devices again.  And other software which I had.  None of the dell software that came with my system like McAfee,  Office, Roxie and a bunch more including Dells Safe Backup Local.  I did reinstalled the on line backup.  I called Dells support but he only got back a a couple things.  I look for help and there was a post saying I could restore dells software by hitting F8 when after restarting.  Which I did.  It started but then friezed up.  Ever since then I've been trying to endlessly pressing F8 but now my computer ignores it and boots up normally.

How can I get the Dells software that came with my computer?

Please help.

    No this link directs me to register my system, The Register system button does not appear in Chrome so I had launch IE and copy the link to get the button. Then the only downloads it offered was McAfee. So I went to another site and got the My Dell download at [View:]
