Knee pain/seat adjustment

I've been commuting/biking regularly (on a mostly daily basis) for a while ... through the fall and winter ... but I'm still being stymied by knee pain. It's like an arc above the kneecap, and coming down inside the knee on both sides, and it's so bad sometimes that I actually need to stop and cringe for a bit. Mostly I've been ascribing it to just not being in great shape. I did try raising my seat, and that worked a little, but it's still pretty bad and I'm not sure otherwise how to adjust. My bike is a specialized hardrock I think 1999 (but possibly 1998). I've grown maybe 2 or 3 inches since then, but I can't imagine that's enough to really make a difference.

Help?
