Can anyone tell me where to get compaq operating system cd as a freeware?
Compaq is not an operating system. However, if what you are looking for is to reset the OS, all you need to do is turn the computer off. When it comes back on and displays the splash screen (that's the screen that says "Compaq" on a black background, by the way), immediately hit F11, this will cause it to go into a program on all HP/Compaq computers that will give you the choice to either restore the computer to a previous date or you can do a complete OS reload. Should you choose to do a complete OS reload, you will then be asked whether or not you want to back up your files. I would do so because as soon as you hit the button to continue, everything on the computer will be erased and all the factory settings will be back to normal.
This is why HP/Compaq and other brands of computers don't come with a reload disc.
