Assuming the serial number is held in the Software hive, open Regedit and in the File menu select 'Load hive'. Browse to Windows(.old)\System32\Config\Software and open it. (The registry hives don't have a file extension.) |

The problem was I couldn't find the "hive" in "windows old" If someone can explain that to me... These are the instructions from the nero website on how to it in a working windows registry Nero 7 is still installed on my computer If Nero is still installed on your PC, you can find the serial number in the registry. Please proceed as follows: Click "Start" in the Windows start menu. Click the "Run" command. The window "Run" will open. Enter "regedit" in the "Open" text field and click the "OK" button. The registry window will open. You will find your serial number on the left side in the navigation tree. Simply go into the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info Your serial number is displayed next to the "Serial7" entry. It is structured as follows: Retail version: 1Cxx-xxxx-xxxx-... Nero Essentials: 4Cxx-xxxx-xxxx-... Please write down your serial number. TIA Quote: > > > > |

Can you see the normal registry files in c:\windows\system32\config ? (Files called Software, System, Default, Sam etc.) Have you got ' Hide protected operating system files ' set in Folder options ? If so you may need to clear that box. |
