Weird Keycode question... XS11E <xs11e[ at ]NOSPAMyahoo.com> 6/22/2007 7:34:13 PM As mentioned previously, I lost my key to XP 64. I did find a key but I haven't any idea what it's for, if you think my computer is a bit disorganized, your right! Is there any way to look at a key and tell what it's for? Any software that might do that? I do NOT want to try and install the software and find out it's the wrong key. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html

As for the unidentified key, if it will recognize a key printed on a piece of paper and identify it somehow I'd be impressed but I doubt that it will.... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html

I'm sorry Don't be sorry, I appreciate the response. I wish the OS were installed but it appears that it's not going to be since the key (along with most of my other MSDN keys) is gone with the hard drive. I wrote MSDN to see if there was a way to recover the keys after my subscription has expeired but there's been no reply so it looks like I'm out of luck. Much more than the keys I miss the pictures that I lost which can never be replaced. :-( I learned a good thing, I guess, one or two or even three backups are NOT adequate. I thought image files were the answer, I was wrong.... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html
