    To reset activation, download and save this program; MBR Regenerator v4.5

    Double click to run the program and when ready, click on the Start Regeneration System button.

    I cannot select any of the three buttons at the bottom (Start regeneration system, options and credits) although I am supposed to be the administrator.

    I entered her own product key and it came up as valid but the message is still displayed on the bottom right of my screen so I am going to try and reboot it to see if it makes any difference.

    Right click on the program setup file and choose 'Run As Administrator'.
