How to reset my laptop

Look to the screen when its boot you can choose F1 F2 F10 F12.

before windows startup. If you choose F12 the software of HP Compaq will start instead of windows. Fallow the instrutcion from the HP
software.

This issue will set the Compaq Back to the origanal installation as in
the beginning when you buyd this product.

after the setup is ready and the laptop is running normal make recovery
disks you will need at least 2 DVD's when the systems software crasht
and there is no other option to start up then you can use the DVD's to
put the settings back as it was.

If it issen't posible go to HP on the inter net choose type of product
and buy recovery disk for the Compaq laptop.

I hope this will help you out.
