From every thing I've seen I'm up s creek without a paddle. A lady gave me a computer (terrific!). It has Win98. The only problem is that when she had it she may have gotten a virus, cuz it's acting awful funky. I figured I'd format and reinstall Win98, cuz I have a Win98SE disk. The problem is I've lost the product key. I tried using the key that was for the 98 on the computer, but it won't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

mmm - request relating to Windows 98 on a Windows XP forum?
