PID #

[derek]

I am trying to get help but to email tech support, I need
my PID #. The only way to get this number is to turn my
computer on, but the problem I am having is that my
computer will not turn on? What do I do?
Please email me if you know anything.

In my language, a PID is a Process Identification
Number. This is the number that Win2000 assigns
to each process that is currently active. It can be
examined in the Task Manager. Since your installation
of Win2000 is not running, there are no processes and
hence no PIDs.

Do you perhaps mean something else? If so then
please explain in detail.

Your PID should be on the back of the CD case that your Windows CD came
with. If you bought the machine from an OEM such as Dell, they typically
put the PID on the top or back of the case.
