its the same with win98. A key will work so long as it passes the check (for a long time it was something like the key was valid ifs sum divided by 7 or something) which meant made up keys would work.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
Well, I am marking it as solved, even though nothing got solved.
I only give advice. Make changes to your computer at your own risk. I only post what I know and what I have done.
I know I am a bit late, but if ou go to Ms support, they can retrieve the key for you. she had to do it over the ph for me but it was a weird install anyway. they have an online tool that does it but i cannot remember where.
Never begin a job by looking at a computer and saying, or even thinking "this won't take long..."
If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
