If Win98 is still running, get it from the Registry with Regedit.exe
The key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion
The value is ProductKey

Help! I'm reinstalling the full version Win 98 and I lost

from Microsoft? Do I have to pay $35 to email them the
question? Will I get an answer?
