Drop by your local BestBuy, Futureshop or Circuit City. They will have copies of Windows XP SP2 that already have keys and are available for a modest sum.

Or re-use your existing key if it's not expired/used up.

Use this software to find your existing key - http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

and since it has sp2, a keygen wouldnt work since you have to activate it within 30 days.

key generator?

are you sure? or did you mean the key/serial number?

if you meant key generator, call microsoft and ask them, they will tell you why you dont have one.

but on a serious note, if you bought that pc (not build it) from like hp, gateway, etc.. they should have a key laying around somewhere with all those cd's and pamplets you got also, if not, you have to renew or buy another/new one

 

[Geoff]

If you bought it from a store then the CD-Key should be on the computer, look on the side and top panels of the case.
