I have Flash CS3 on my hardrive from mu old computer which had XP. I recently put the hard drive from that computer into the new one with Windows 7. Is there a way to reinstall everything from XP to 7 without buying a new registration code.

You don't need a new serial simply because you updated your OS. Just re-install the application and reference the Serial/Authenticatino code from your previous installation.

The liscence allows you to instal flash on 2 computer. If you wish to put it on a 3d computer you need to deactivate the liscence from one of the other computers. I'm pretty sure you don't have to do this since you're just changing the operating system, but just to be sure, I would deactivate it before the reformat.

Is there a way to search for the registration code in the program files. Because i didn't get it downloaded from a disc or a site. My IT guy stuck it on there.

When you install the application, and you have to activate, simply follow the directions provided. You can also call adobe if you don't know how to figure it out.
