RE: Can Anyone Help Me

It is a fairly easy process to retrieve your installation ID directly from the registry in Windows 95, 98 or ME. Click on the Start button, then run and then in the window type "regedit" and click ok.

This will open the registry editor. Be careful not to change any entries.

In the registry editor window, under 'My Computer', click on the plus beside 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' to expand the tree.

Next, click on the plus next to Software, then Microsoft and finally Windows. You then click on the word 'Current Version'. This opens, in the right window, a directory that includes the 'product key' listing. On this line you will find the data that will allow you to reinstall Windows. For Windows 95 it will be a number formatted this way: xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx. For Windows 98 and ME it will be five groups of five numbers and letters. Write this number down to use during the installation process.
