how can i restore my compaq laptop back to its factory settings?
my laptop has so much stuff going wrong with it. i don't have much music or pictures, so losing those won't be a problem. i've had my computer erased before, i just need to know how to do it again. i don't have any CD's or recovery disks or anything. just need help. thanks!

The best and cheapest way is to use a set of recovery disc made for the lap top, you can order a set from http://www.compaq.com/cpq-country/cpq_support.html by the model and serial number to install a new original operating system and use the original key code on the sticker on bottom of your lap top. Then you will not have to pay a repair center to do it for you for a $100.00 or more. If it is a newer lap top running Vista or Windows 7 you can use the built in system recovery, try holding down the Fn key while pressing F10, F11 or F12 at start up. This varies with makes and models to enter recovery partition. Check the user guide for your lap top.
