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. -----Original Message----- 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. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Ethan" wrote in message ...

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. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Ethan" wrote in message ...
