Default Compaq 6820s

I think that you have two world for those two companies.I mean HP and
Microsoft, the US-Canada-GreatBritain world and the remaining.

I follow what you suggest and it seemsto work if I am a US-Canadian or
Great-Britain citizen but for me, no.


I think I will put a Linux with Open-office and forgot Bill and so on

Thank you anyway for your help

Has information on how to buy a recovery CD/ DVD from Compaq.

There is a charge for supplying them, but they will restore your PC to
ex-factory settings. You may need to explain that you are *not* claiming
under the warranty.

It is possible that you may be able to re-install from any official Vista
Home Basic DVD for your country by using the COA number on your computer
case. It worked on XP, but I've not tried it with Vista,

Your only other choice is to buy a new copy of Vista Home Basic and get
all the drivers from the HP website, or upgrade to Windows 7, which is
free (In the United Kingdom, anyway.) until June 2010. Then the licence
expires and you'll need to buy a licence for it. Windows 7 uses Vista
drivers.
