Hey guys! i have this very old compaq computer running on windows me. when i got my lap top, i boxed up the comp and didnt use it for little over a year. i just hooked it up last week and its running fine. The problem is that it keeeps freezing on me (the reason why it was boxed up) so i decided to put in the recovery disk that came with it. Ive done this before so i knew what i was doing. but now when i put the disk in a long list appears with " A:\_ " at the end of it. i dont know what to type next. is there a command i need to tell it? i just want to restore my computer to the factory settings. I dont know much about computers, just learning, so any help would be GREAT! thanks! :)

Is the Recovery (Reinstallation) Disk a CD? If so, you should boot to it and follow the prompts.
