In response to HTH, you assume that I had used the 6 alloted restores.
I, in fact had used only one, which I used when I upgraded my OS to WinXP (not a new install, only an upgrade from Win 2K.)
When I rebooted, MJ was nowhere to be found so I downloaded the file again and used the restore key.
I did, however, receive messages when I opened MJ that I had "X" number of days left to pay for the upgrade (or something to that effect.)
I mistakenly paid no attention to the message as I had indeed paid for it, otherwise I wouldn't have had the restore key.
From reading the postings in this forum, it appears that I am not alone in my confusion re: the restore key and the fact that the system apparently charges for restores not used.
