Starting on either gives her a screen which has mottled colours and refuses access to heaps of programs including e-mail. Have checked settings, done disk scan, frag'd, diag. No luck. All say O.K. Tried to restore but couldn't get past disk insertion. It's a Compaq Presario, Windows 98, 2nd ed. Help! I'm stuck!	Guest (0)

Start the computer with it in the floppy drive, then when it's fully loaded follow the on-screen help instructions to restore the system files. (You'll be given an option how to start - choose the option with CD support). If she doesn't have a boot disc, find someone else that has Win98 - they should have one or can make one for you.
