Your first mistake was getting a Compaq...hehe...oh well, I have on too (inherited it when I got married - wife's computer). The wife manages to fuck this computer at least twice a year. The last time was the worst. I hate to restart it about 15 times before it would even recognize a boot disk. Then I reinstalled Windows and it worked fine. Then I spent weeks downloading and reinstalling all that damn bootleg software I had.
After that I bought a cd burner so a crash is no big deal...everything is backed up.
