registering a "used" computer

[smarie]

Hello, can someone tell me if I have to "uninstall" windows 98 on here, to change the name that this thing is registered in? got any ideas?
thanks for your time.

Are you talking about log in name, like when you hit start and there is another name, where it says log off XXXX(X=name of person)?
Just go to start/ settings/ control panel/ and users. Change it here, then on start up it will ask what user you want to choose.Then you can choose it there.

The registration name and company name are asked for during installation. So, if you do a reinstallation, you can change it.

In the windows registry (under software, microsoft, current version), you will find the names too, but I would not suggest trying to tamper with that.

hey,

you can safely change this information by using Beacon5 (http://www.bluebitter.de/).

shareware, but works a LONG time...(said 25 times to use it, that was 2 years ago..)
