Hi!
I want to buy a used Compaq laptop with Win98. The owner say it has a problem: computer goes to Compaq's help program when you start it and you can't go to neither windows or dos. Is it a difficult problem to fix? Any ideas out there?
Thanks, Alan

if it just says COMPAQ then it is likely a bad hard drive.
