authentication code
Have an old copy of Windows Me, but I can't find my manual with the
authenication code. Is there a way to get a new one from Microsoft without giving up my first born. |

There is a way to get it from the Registry, but, I don't remember that one.
g The easiest, for me, would be to use any of the free apps: Belarc Advisor Aida32 Sisoft Sandra Everest Do a Google search for a download location...........Belarc is handy, also, for keeping track of your programs and updates.

To use any of these software downloads, I am guessing that would necessitate
it already being on a computer. I don't have it on any computer right now. I have the disk, no manual with the code. Thanks though. "heirloom" wrote in message ...
