re: windows 98 Sunday, June 1, 2003 at 3:13 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) It may be that the current Registry has problems. Try restoring a Registry backup, and then use the DOS version of KeyFinder. Download the Key.bat file at the bottom of the page and copy it to a boot disk, or to the root directory of C:\. Boot with the disk and from the A:\> prompt, type KEY and press enter. Or after restoring the Registry from the C:\> prompt, type KEY and press enter. The Product Key should be listed on the first two lines. Boot, press and hold the 'CTRL' key to enter the boot menu. Select the 'COMMAND PROMPT ONLY' option and press enter. At the C:\> prompt, type 'SCANREG /RESTORE' and press enter. When the screen appears, select the first available backup.
