Presario 5304 - non fuctioning Control Panel
Very slow to boot, nothing on Control Panel functional (so no diagnostics),
suggestions from the group?? System had been unexpectedly shutting down after running ~1 hour - but now doing better (up 5 hours) after removing cover and vacuuming out years of dust. Does this Compaq require "Compaq Windows98" or have hard drive reformats and complete reloads with Windows98 SE been successful? Machine acquired second-hand from a classmate, without software. Compaq (and HP) websites useless. Thanks Al |

this board. . My 5-year-old grand niece wanted to know what it meant.
