I have windows 95 on my computor and I had to reformat my
computer.  When I reformatted it and I try to reinstall
windows 95 I found I needed the OEM number, but I don't
have it.  Is there a way I can get it or get around that
function in the setup process.

If you have the OSR2 or 2.5 version of WIN95, use one of these
numbers, they will work.

 Yea, there is a "way" to get the number, you can(I
think) simply buy another OEM number from Microsoft, or
browse around and buy another Windows 95 cd.  It's an old
OS(Operating System), so don't get ripped off!!  You can
get it for a good $2-6 if you look hard enough.  Please,
don't pay any more than $10(not counting S&H), it's not
worth that much.
