Default 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

First, I suggest you grow up and change your user name if you want help on
this board. . My 5-year-old grand niece wanted to know what it meant.
