product key

[Nate Grossman]

I need a product key for my XP MCE. My system came on 5 disks with a
bunch of junk on it. Everytime I reinstall I have to remove it all. When I
try to install just the XP I am asked for a product code which I don't know.

If the system is still operable, go here, get the program.

Here are four utilities, all of which will display your product keys:
Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)
Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional
features

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the
OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not
match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as
Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

It's easy to determine if the system is running. And if it is, use any of
the tools, write it down, and *tape it to the PC case*.

Look for a sticker with the number on the case.
