    What program did you use to back up all your files and settings?

    And I take it you used compaq's recovery disks?

    I used norton 360 2.0verison to backup my files and settings and I used compaq recovery system that's installed in the computer,when you press f10 when you turn your computer on.

    I have not used Norton, but I would assume as with other programs, you would have to install norton on the new install and then there would be a restore button somewhere within norton that would allow you to use the disks you created to restore your system back with those disks

    You did notmention why you restored your system, but if for some reason you were having a problem with sonething and you used those disks to create backups, you might be putting the problem back to your PC with the recovery disks you have.. This all depends on your situation of course

    Check this link for some restore options
