lost key

[Cynthia Jarrett]

I had to restore my computer to the factory settings
lately and have lost everything located on the computer.
I cannot seem to find my Windows XP Professional key code
anywhere in the mountain load of paper and computer
information I have. I was able to find the licenses
through a program that recorded in named Belarc Advisor.
Is there anyway I can get another key or help in
obtaining another way to get in to reinstall the
software...I cannot aford to buy another copy.

Only way to obtain another Product Key is
to go out and purchase a "Full Version" of
Windows XP.

Are you sure it's not on a sticker on the top, rear, side or bottom of
your computer? Many manufacturers place them there.
