Here are three utilities which will display your product key:
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC. in bocca al lupo JS "mario" wrote in message ... ok, from the start i wanna say that i'm from italy and my english isn't very good.

If all you bought was the Windows XP Home Edition CD - and you are not saying that this version is already installed on a system that is currently working - then you do have a problem. The CD itself does not contain any seril or product key numbers. That (the serial number/product key) is seperate and in the end - is truly the most important part of your purchase. If you are saying that the Windows XP Home Edition came with your computer and that there is no sticker on the computer itself with the product key - but you have Windows XP Home Edition installed and working already - you can use something like Belarc Advisor to pull the product key/serial number from the working install... http://www.belarc.com/ -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

You have two choices, find the packaging or buy another copy of Windows. Regards Mike. |

First off people who do not speak English well rarely use contractions when
they write. I doubt that you are legit and are simply trying to find a way to steal a serial number. -- Xandros "mario" wrote in message ... ok, from the start i wanna say that i'm from italy and my english isn't very good.

Well spotted, Xandos.
Your comment echoed my thoughts. You should be working for the 'Newsgroup Police'. "Xandros" arron.neus*remove*@gmailcom wrote in message ...
