| 40400 | 2002-03-25 05:49:00 | Hey does any one know where I can find my Win98Se registery code. I know my Win98Se cd key but not the code I need it because I need to reinstall Win98Se, I could get it from the manual but I kinda lost it. I not talking about the registery key from System Properties the one you get from <right clicking on My Computer->Properties then into any other manual> I'm talking about the one that have all these different kinda of alphabets. So does any one know how to get it, thanks alot. Jase Sen |

I must warn you that this sounds risky. but if it works it would be great. the only other thing is that I could suggest is backing up all the stuff you want to keep, and all the little niggleing Application programs that will not be there when you re-install i.e Realplayer, winZip, Winrar (**** like dat) as you will find it a total pain in the arse if you have permanatly deleted something you wanted to keep. The get rid of 98SE and upgrade to XP(providing your puter can handle the upgrade), Skip Win Me as it sucks arse. just ask a friend for a burnt copy and don't forget to get the registration key. If you can't get a copy of XP send me your address to my personal e-mail to dconnolly@aapt.com.au Marked attention BigDog and I will send you a copy providing you are in Australia. | Guest (0) | ||
| 40402 | 2002-03-25 07:10:00 | Thanks Bigdog. I'd disregard that previous entry, Bigdog works with me and he thought it'd be funny posting one of my e-mail addresses. Surfice to say I don't share the same humor. Anyway As for the topic, 98SE isn't so bad, but then neithers XP, but it all comes down to what your more comfortable with. I still use 98SE on one system and network to my main system that runs XP, as for CD keys you'll prolly only get a legit key off your booklet, sure enough if you have lost it you could get it off a friend or even off the net, i.e go to Google and type win 98 SE CD key, you'll prolly find thousands of them. Granted though it's not really legit to do that. But then if you've got the original CD still and run into strife with the almighty Microsoft, at least you'll hve a legit copy of the CD and they should see fit by that. Anyway best of luck, Daniel |

| 40404 | 2002-03-25 08:00:00 | What program is that Bigdog, that can block the spam? | Guest (0) | ||
| 40405 | 2002-03-25 08:24:00 | When Windows is installed, the Set-up program requires that you type in a 25-character Product Key that is on the back of the CD (jewel) case or on a certificate on the cover of the Getting Started/User Manual. During the Windows installation the Product Key is stored in the Windows Registry. You can find it on your computer by clicking Start, Run, and entering regedit. Click the plus signs to expand the branches in the Registry until you reach: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version Scroll the right pane until you find ProductKey. HTH |
