lost product key

[michael]

i bought winxp last year (full version). i moved and lost
the product key and everything except the cdrom.
i remember when i had win98 and lost the key then (yes
this is twice for me, haha), that i called microsoft and
they gave me a product key over the phone. now i don't
know who to call or rather what the number is!
will i have to buy another software package? that's crazy.
can anyone help me?

Happy New Year!

Mike...

you must...really must...slow down and get your act together.......you are
not exactly what is called organized...
1)...get a new "key" from whoever...ie..MS...write it down in a safe
place..like...with a big felt pen on your PC box...OK.....


This should help you.....try it...
