Product ID

Thanks, although I don't have a PC with it installed, the
phone no. looks promising. I'm in the UK though, whwre did
you find the number and is there a UK (0800 or +44) number?
Thanks again, Ethan.

The W98 ProductKey is generally found on the Windows user
manual, the
certificate of authenticity, a sticker on the PC or a
sticker on the sleeve
or jewel case the Windows CD came in. The 25-digit key
is 5 groups of 5
alpha/numeric characters. The Key might be available
from the system:

If the system is working in either safe or normal mode:

Open regedit.exe to this key and look in the right pane
for the entry
ProductKey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersi
on

If the system is not working, start the computer with a
floppy startup disk.

At the A: prompt, type:
C:\Windows\Command\Find /N "ProductKey"
C:\Windows\System.dat
(Note: ProductKey must be typed in upper and lower case
letters as shown
and there is a space after: "Find" after: "/N"
and after:
"ProductKey"

If the hard drive has been formatted or replaced, US
customers can contact
Microsoft at: 1 800 642-7676. They will issue retail
and OEM product keys
after verifying data located on the W98 CD.

Microsoft Contact Cent 0870 60 10 100 is the only number I can come up
with. I would give them a call and explain that you found in the MS
newsgroups that MS US Customer Service will provide a W98 product key for
retail and OEM versions.
