windows me dos

I'm sorry but it appears that in addition to moving the registry file
user.dat that you moved/deleted/trashed some other essential system files.
Time to restore the system from the restore folder but first make sure to
safe what you can including e-mail, photos, etc.

If no-one here knows the answer.I'd check the HP/Compaq web site after
that try Google. Never having had a Compaq or any other commercially
built PC since the mid 90s I can't help you here. Sorry

Best of luck, I hope it goes well.
