James,

If "bundled in the load" means the program came preinstalled on your computer, I would think the manufacturer of your computer would supply you with a reg. number if you called them.

If PSE came bundled with a scanner or something, the maker of the hardware should supply the number, call them.

If you purchased the program outright, the number was on the CD container. If you registered the program, Adobe ought to be able to give you the number you need.

If you are lucky, you might find your serial in the registry:

Check this registry key:
-- Photoshop Elements 2.0: Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion /Uninstall/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

or

-- Photoshop Elements 1.0: Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/1.0/Registration
