Need some help with Windows XP
 

Where do I look in regedit to find out the cd key to windows that is installed on my computer. I'm formatting my other computer and want to use the cd key I used on my main computer cause its a valid key. I'm assuming its in regedit somewhere (I hope) if anyone knows pm me or reply asap, I need to start formatting the other one. Thanks!

Unless the hardware is exactly the same it won't work if its a valid retail liscence..

:D

Dammit! What do you think I should do? Other than actually buy it lol. Forgot to add, it doesnt matter whether or not I can d/l sp1.

In my professional opinion buy it.

I have yet to see a WPA hack stick for more than a year..

You can get a legit liscence fo peanuts noadays.

You own a legit liscence correct?

uhhhhh, i'll pm you to finish this

The information is in the registry.

start > run > regedit
HKey_LocalMachine\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion
click on "+" signs until you reach "current version". At that point, click on "current version. On right panel, look for "productkey".

It may not be what you are looking for, I hope it is :)

I cant find productkey? I see productID but thats just numbers....

PM ^-^

find a program that generates keys. someone gave me one of those a few months ago i dont know if it still works

Bill Gates is watching:hide: ...I dont think you should be discussing this stuff in a public forum...Hes gonna find out you using an illigal key :tsk:and sue you for piracy, for 1 million, so you might as well just pay the two hundred and get a legit key, save yourself a million bucks.... :crazy: :rolleyes:

I havent paid for a legit copy of windows in my life, all you need is a corperate key and your set...it will do all your computers, no problems...muwaahh screw microsoft :haha: :evil: (MS) :shooter:

or you could d/l mandrake linux 9.1 for FREE which is the most rock solid os on the planet :)

I'm actually thinking of tying linux on one of my older computers to see how it is, can u hook me up with some info on where to get it? TIA
