Does anyone know where I can download or purchase a Compaq Presario 4550 Recovery Disk. I have lost my original CD which came with the 5 to 6 year old computer. Currently, I have to Format C: Drive, reinstall Windows 98 and all the original applications. A Virus attack won't allow Windows 98 access to any applications. I hate to contact Compaq-HP since the restoration CD may be obsolete and unsupported. Besides, Compaq-HP will charge me an "arm and a leg" for the original equipment CD. Incidentally, the Compaq Presario was infiltrated by the "SirCom Worm Virus" and it left the computer inoperative as far as software applications: MSCONFIG ... REGEDIT ... WINIPCFG ... ETC. Otherwise, Windows 98 boots up to a normal desktop. jleach@surewest.net
