Computer problem;

And access to (the important) icon's in control Panel are not opening up. I'n
not able to access the log off/shut down box thus, having to leaving computer
on and not manually turning it off, as that would lead to other problem's. I
have no bottom bar, via Task (?). I can still use the web and see only the
icon's in control panel, etc.When I do try to access any of the incon's, all
I get is a very fast blink of a box, like a camera flash or something. I
don't have the MS cd for this computer, and a Compaq is being listed as the
administraor, why? I bought the tower, I should be the administraot. All
that's on the desktop is a all red background, with no start button, no
desktop icon's and no bottom bar on my screen. I just hit the Connect button
on this keyboard for the web, and just use this one window to do whatever.
And if I was to hit (-) and not (x) the window would disappear downward. So I
can only use that small window button between (-) and (x) to check for any
possible pop-up's. My computer is a new puo27av - SR1010Z, bought on 2/3/05
from my local "Staples" store. I've only had this in my possession the last
(72) hour's, for which I've been awake through it all trying to set it up,
deal with uploads, surfing the web, whatever. Can you help me recover my
windows or something? my email address: , and
contact info, etc. is on my website at: http://www.jeffreydavidmorris.com

Hold down the Windows key (the key located between the Ctrl key and the Alt
key) and press R. That should bring up the Run box. Type the following and
press Enter

restore/rstrui.exe

That should start System Restore. Use the Wizard to roll back to a date when
the computer was working correctly.

Of course this problem could be related to a virus. If System Restore
doesn't work or help then do a reinstall of your system. When you purchased
it you were given instructions on how to Restore your computer. Use the
process outlined in your manual. Or contact Staples and ask them for
assistance.
