Different type of question for this group...



FWIW,

There is a group of individuals who produce a windows product (freeware)
called "serials 2000".  This will likely do the trick for you, as far as
installing and running the software.

I suggest you search the web yourself and virus scan anything you download
and execute.  Having said that, look at:

Subject: Different type of question for this group...


Considering the result from the question that Jerry asked at the last
meeting, perhaps this is not so strange a question to put before the BLU
organization (ie., that many in group are using Windows more than we
like to think...at least for now).

A friend at the college owns an Emachine that has become
corrupted...needs to reload Windows98 2nd Ed. but cannot find the CD
case (and therefore cannot find the label that tells her the license #
for the product). Microsoft uses that code to create its own code
somewhat encripting the original (or so I think). Is there a way of
reversing the license code so she can discover the original number
(which she is licensed to own and use)?

Kevin

PS If this isn't a reason that Microsoft should be broken up what is?
(Corrupting your own licensing information so you can't re-install.)
