Downgrade to Windows98(from Millennium);Successful, but.....

the fixer · 08-08-2004, 01:07 PM

I created a startup disk for ME in the control panel's add/remove, as was suggested. This disk worked for getting me into DOS and formating drive C:. My problem now is that it is not accepting the "Authenticity Numbers" that came with my Windows98 CD set. Is there a way around the registering process.

Whats the reason it isnt accepting those numbers?

I think its because Microsoft will only let you use the CD set on only one PC, which isnt really fair. Ive heard there where ways around the registration process.

)
