I have a compaq presario 5838 in my shop with the Hybris worm. I removed the worm, however he also had a lot of software corruption going on. Several progams complaining at startup, lockup etc. Recommended a system restore. We used his restore disks to restore the computer and the setup program gets almost done and performs an illegal operation, but still finishes the install. However the computer doesn't run long before it's blue screening. I install our win98oem and have no problems. I haven't got all the drivers however. The unit is sealed and the customer "thinks" he still has time on his warranty. Is there anything anyone can think of I should try before sending him back to the store where he got it ( I believe it's a store warranty not compaq)

Thanks for any and all ideas.
