My neighbor gave me her relativley new computer becasue she had no room for it. Problem is it is loaded with junk and is very slow because of it. I can't even open Control Panel because whenever I click on it the screen goes blank then back on 30 seconds later and Control Panel never opens.
I want to run the Restore CD to get it back to factory install but when I put the disk in and restart the computer, the screen says I should call Compaq Tech Support.

Any other way to do this? Or should I just throw it away?
