Help, product key not being accepted?!

Question
-
I recently broke the screen on my laptop and had it fixed. The night I got it back,it worked just fine. The next day i tried to use the computer again but gave me a screen asking for the product key. Whenever I put the key in (which I got from the bottom of the laptop) I get an invalid key...I mean, I know this version of Windows Vista is legit, why is it saying the key is not valid? I know you can purchase one online but I don't think it's fair for me to have to do that when I spent so much money on this laptop, which I bought at a store. Please help?! Here's the report...

Hello Angykid,
First off, try the below steps. When asked, enter the Product key from the COA sticker and then Activate by Phone.
1) Open an Internet Browser window.
2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
9) Type: net start slsvc
10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
11) Restart your computer twice.
12) You may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate.If that doesn't work, I suggest contacting Dell and ask them to fix whatever they did or replace it.
Don't let the tech support try to tell you "it's a Microsoft Problem" If they repaired the screen, then the PC is still under warranty and if it's still under warranty, it is thier responsibility to provide full support for the computer, including the the Windows they sold with the pc. That is part of the Licensing Agreement all OEMs have with Microsoft: They sell a PC with Windows Pre-installed, then they provide all the support for that Windows.
Thank you,

Thank you for the help.
Unfortunately, when I put %windir%\system32 in the browser window I was directed to ask.com asking if I made a mistake in what I typed. Did I do something incorrectly?

Hello Angykid,
Are you using Internet Explorer or another browser such as Firefox?
If you are using Firefox, that browser doesn't seem to allow the user go to folders on the computer thru the browser. In this case, I suggest booting into safe mode and (Temporarily) set Internet Explorer as the default browser. Next boot back into normal mode and follow the above steps.
Thank you,

I also tried this in internet explorer and got the same thing - a browser asking me if i typed something incorrectly.
What else can i do?
