I am trying to install win 95 on a computer that was
running win 3.1. I do fine till it gets to the part to
enter the key code. I lost that a long time ago. Is there
any thing I can do about this. It is so frustrating.

Try making up a product ID! The secret is that when you add up all
the digits in the second numeric field, the total must be an even
multiple of seven.

Examples:

17177-OEM-1616167-16167
10597-OEM-0021407-56804
30397-OEM-0026382-89293
12697-OEM-0022316-53361

1+6+1+6+1+6+7 = 28 which is 4*7
2+1+4+7 = 14, which is 2*7
2+6+3+8+2 = 21, which is 3*7
2+2+3+1+6 = 14, which is 2*7
