I have become "bugged" so I have backed up my important
files and want to reinstall my xp. But I an not find the
key. Is the key still stored on my pc? All I can find is
my product number?

Download this utility http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml and
run it on your existing WinXP installation to get the CD key.

Another amazing progy is the Belarc Advisor. Don't know if it would give
you the product key so I'm glad you got it from Shiva and the Magical Jelly
Bean.
Belarc Advisor scans and tells you all you'd ever want to know about what's
on your computer and where it is.

Have you seen AIDA32 http://www.aida32.hu/aida-features.php?bit=32
It will give you the Windows Product Key as well as the Product Keys for
other installed apps.

Hi Ann.
In Win XP Belarc gives you the OEM number but it gives the Product Key number if you are using Win98. At the same time I wouldn't do
without Belarc.
