I have a serious problem, and i need some serious help. My computer has contracted a virus, and we are now required to reformat, meaning i will have to reinstall everything. I seem to have lost my cdkey for Halo, though. Where does it save my cd-key so that i may either back that file up and reenter it when i reinstall halo, or view my cd-key so that i can write it down and put it back in when i have to re-install? I AM NOT LOOKING FOR CD-KEY GENERATORS, OR FREE CD-KEYS, JUST A WAY TO FIND MINE ON MY COMPUTER. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much in advance. I really hope there is something I can do, I'll be extremely sad if i can't play Halo without buying a new copy, especially since I have no money.

-S

Use regedit.exe and look up:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo

How the hell did you lose your CD key?
Anyway, if it's like Win XP - your CD key is converted into a Product ID, so you can't take it from the registry. You'll just have to find it!

u guys ever thought of contacting MICROSOFT? They will give you a replacement key, just like they will for your O.S if you lose the number.

go to your registery go to search for halo (microsoft\games\) and export that part. When you install you game again with a dummy number then you can import your registery.
