My operating system was showing signs of progressive failure.
Sorry to hear you reformatted,but at least you get to start anew.By coincidence,my computer became almost unusable between last night and today,it was touch and go for a while,so trust me,I'm knowing what it feels like.

I have created a problem with my SBS&D license, however. When I was uninstalling/reinstalling (before the OS reload) I was asked whether to use the existing license or a new one and I selected new one. Now I receive a notification that SBS&D is installed on 3 computers when my license is only for two. When re installing SBS&D after my OS reload, I was not asked the new license/existing license question. I in fact have SBS&D installed only on two computers. How do I resolve?
I'm not sure on that one,since I've never had the notification.So,I'm going to refer you to Spybot support.There are support forms here:
