RE: Full System Restore
Where did you buy your PC and in what state? If you bought your Compaq in a regular store as new there should have been a restore CD in the box.
I work at a company that sells like 90% HP/Compaq, there must always be a restore CD an operating system CD in the box. If you bought it in a store you could try to contact them and say there wasn't a restore and operating system CD in the box. Maybe they can send you a copy for free. I believe you need two seperate CD's, one says recovery CD the other one saying Operating Disk. If you bought it second hand or "as-is" then it could be right you didn't get a restore CD.
You either need these Compaq recovery CD's or a normal Windows CD when the Windows build in system restore doesn't help.
If you really can't find a solution, tell me the exact model you have and which OS (xp/2k/home/pro/uk?). We may have the preload CD for it at work, it restores everything to what it was like when you first bought the PC (all other data will be ereased so make backup). Could send it to you if we have it for your model.
