This is a desk top not a laptop does that make any difference?

Hello,

You need to try and contact HP to see if they will provide you with a recovery disc. If they don't you need to get your self another copy of Windows.

When I press F10 it takes me to another screen but niether of the options above are available to me. I cannot open any malware or spyware removal programs because of "Your Pc Protector" & "Internet Security 2010" & "Windows Security Center". What should I do. I have a Compaq Presario V5000

F10 in the Presario 900 Laptop I am working with takes you to the BIOS nothing seems to get you to the system restore.

Any ideas?
