I am no computer genious by ANY stretch so I am at a total loss and nobody is open to even look at it this weekend because its Easter.

So this morning I open a few things (email, outlook express) and they crash. I open outlook explorer again and it crashes again and then I think maybe restarting will help.. So.. I restart the computer and it does it again just after load up. I try restarting a couple times and sometimes it gets windows loaded, other times it crashes before it even loads.

Is this fixable? The computer is all of maybe 2 months old.. if even that.

Any imput would be awesome..

Here's the way to start for Ultimate: http://www.windowsvista.windowsreinstall.c...pairstartup.htm

Okay.. so that is a nice option.. Issue being it is a Compaq and didnt come with a CD for Vista..

Something tells me im SOL?

I'd suggest searching the HP site for it using your model number and terms similar to "startup recovery".
