If you have trouble at the ‘enter the number' stage and the appropriate number is not written on the box, label or disc, then open the disc in your computer (put the disc in the drive then - ‘Start' - ‘Programs' - ‘Windows Explorer' - ‘CD-Rom drive' or just ‘Start' - ‘Run') and then open each file you see - look at the contents of the ‘Read Me' file too, or look for a file that might be called ‘comment', ‘serial', ‘crack' (if the start code has been ‘cracked'), ‘key-gen' ‘S.N.' or a file ending in ‘.txt' - the copiers often put the number in the disc contents rather than on a piece of paper which can get lost.
Look also for a file called ‘Crack' or ‘Crack.exe' which will contain the code. Copy and paste this code into the folder on your c: drive that contains the game. You might get a prompt pop up asking if you want to replace the existing file - click Yes of OK.
Failing that log on to Google (search) and try "warez" and "serial numbers" for an extensive list to help you. http://www.astalavista.box.sk/ and http://www.subserials.com/ are other sites with opening codes.
