NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!
24ggirl
was just wondering if you can please tell me where I would look to find the
key code. I always wondered where it would be stored on a computer. Would
that be stored in the registry and if so how would I get to it? Thank you!

There should be a sticker on the outside of the computer case showing the
key. or
download and install Belarc Advisor from
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and run it

Dells come with two product keys:
-- a unique one that represents your license which can be found on your
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, which is probably on the side
of your desktop PC
-- and a generic one that is found on both the Dell-branded XP
installation CD that may have come with your PC *and* on your hard drive
if use a program like Belarc Advisor of Magical Jellybean Finder.
If you reinstall XP on your Dell *and* use the Dell-branded installation
CD, there is no need to enter a Product Key at all because of the
System-Locked Preinstallation (SLP) method that is used.

is the same as whats in my computer, and besides the download here you got me
to do, which by the way did show me something different, can you please tell
me where I would look in my computer for this key code if I didn't want to
download this tool even though I did. Would I look in the registry and if so
where? I promise you I'm not trying to be complicated, difficult or anything
like that. Just trying to learn something a little bit different here.
Knowledge is power. Thank you.

When I do download it and run it I'll let you know if it has the sams issue
as Belarc.

If you bought this computer new and didn't specify you wanted the 64 bits
version, you have 99.9% chances thats it's the 32 bits version.
I visited the above site and they claim that the 32 bits will work with any version
of Windows.

Do you happen to know where I can look in my computer for the key code
manually besides the sticker that's on there. Is it in the registry and if so
how do I get to it and look at it myself?

You've been informed that the key in the registry may be different from
the one on your sticker. You can't find the key by running REGEDIT,
because it's encrypted.

Dells have two types of Product Keys.
The generic Product Key (shared by thousands of other Dells) is the one
that is on your hard drive. If you intend to reinstall Windows and
choose to use a non-Dell XP installation CD, then that product key is of
no use to you. You would have to use the key that is on the COA sticker.
That key will *not* be on your hard drive currently.
However, if you were to reinstall Windows using a non-Dell XP
installation CD, then the key on your sticker will ultimately match the
one on the hard drive.
You cannot view the product key on the hard drive unless you use a
program like Belarc Advisor or Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. Links:
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/
If you do not have malware on your PC and if your anti-malware program
is warning you that these programs contain malware, that would be a
false positive and you can ignore it. If you are unable to install
either program, then surely there is something wrong with your system.
This leads us to the next question:
What specifically is wrong with your system?
If you choose to reinstall Windows using a Dell-branded XP installation
CD (Hopefully you have one! Do you?), then you don't even NEED to enter
a Product Key.
Hopefully, this explanation has cleared this up for you.

Then you need to get a better anti-virus program, one less prone to
false positives.

It is not stored anywhere on the hard drive in a plain text format,
unless you've deliberately typed it into a text file or Word document
and saved it.
It's stored in the registry, in an encrypted format. You cannot
simply read it; you need a tools such as Magic Jelly Finder of Belarc
Advisor to decrypt it for you.

Because what else will you do if you don't take responsibility for
your self and for others? You have to be kept busy at all times
to protect young boys and girls from predators like you.

You don't. There is your simple answer. Microsoft did not make it easy
to find the license key after it has been entered.
