There should be a sticker on the side of the PC case which will have the details.
Failing which try Belarc software (google will find it easily) which will identify all the software installed on your system.

Will have a look, but we are talking about almost 4 years ago now, if not more. The label is not on the case or on the little Windows booklet.

I had to phone MS tonight to get my XP re-activated, said I have done it too many times, or more than one PC has it installed
DOH, of course it does, its the MSDN subscriber download version, it comes with 10 licenses (not VLK, thats a seperate one
) anyway got activated in the end
