missing vista programs help!

[Guest]

I'm missing some programs. I had made a second copy of vista premium
on my new laptop. I had to recover but the recovery manager formatted my
drive and I was instructed to insert the vista cd that came with my new lap.
I reinstalled the windows. Then it went to windows update and I got most of
my drivers and updated alot. except office, and recovery manager, and some
others like defender. The product key now says invalid too. Except I used
the cd
that came with my lap so why is it invalid? I need to reinstall some vista
programs
anyone know how, and where? how can I tell what programs are missing? help
help,help please!

Your other programs may be on other discs seperate from the Vista disc.
Look at your laptop documentation or call their support no.
