Go to control panel and select "systen restore". You might have to do this from "safe mode"- during boot-up punch "F8" until it come on in safe mode.

If you mean 'Restore to Factory' settings, different manufacturers do things differently. Example: Dell stores info to restore in a small partition and you use F11 to do a restore of the operating system. I believe Acer ships a restore cd. I found this link for Compaq: http://www.user-guides.co.uk/Compaq/CompaqRecovery/Compaq.asp?keywords=Compaq+Evo+XP+Recovery+CD+Disk&recor=1 I am not sure your Compaq's type...but you can check them over. HOWEVER, if you mean 'Restore to an Earlier Setting' that is completely different. This link describes what to do: http://www.ehow.com/how_4421483_restore-computer-earlier-setting.html Good luck
