Finding the Product ID on the Computer

On the desk top,right-click on My Computer,select Properties from the menu,lon the General tab should list the Product key

The other area to check,click Start,select Run,type in Regedit,locate the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Highlight Current Version and then locate the Product Key or ID in the right pane

The number under the "Registered To" is your Windows Product ID number and it typically contains 20 digits and 3 "-"'s.

Another way to reach there is by clicking Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/ ... under the General tab.

The second half of soulriders answer is what you need.

In W98, System Properties only shows you the Product ID that Microsoft generates from the Product Key.

The Product Key itself is stored in the system registry.

Run regedit from the Run box on the start menu.
CAUTION: DO NOT DELETE OR EDIT ANY REGISTRY KEYS unless you know and understand the keys function.

Browse to the key soulrider's answers directs you to, and you will see both the product ID, and Product Key listed in the right pane.

Give the points to soulrider, as he gave you the correct answer.
I only elaborated.
