product key edit help needed
Hi everyone,
I need some help here. A friend brought her gateway computer to my place to see if I could fix it and when I start it up it asks me for the product key. I had put the product key in it that she had found and it turned out to be the wrong one even though it let me do it. I need to go back in and edit it and put the correct one in. I had come across somewhere in how to do it but I cant find the info on it now. Does anyone know how I would go to the edit area for this? The computer is a gateway with windows 98 on it. Thanks.

Start menu, run, type: regedit and click OK. On the registry
editor, click on Edit and Find and search for the first five digits of the wrong product key. When found, right click the key and select modify. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP Windows 98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Bubbles" wrote in message ...
