As my computer crashed due to a virus, The set-up was re-
done from my original product CD-Rom. However, while
entering the prduct key during set-up, the wrong key was
entered by the technician from another cover available
with him. How can this be reversed? I wish to enter my own
key from the product purchased by me.
