I would try doing a restore from safe mode. Turn on your PC, and when the first Windows Screen Appears, press F8 lots.
This should bring up a menu, from which you can select "Safe Mode".
Starting Safe mode, should automatically ask if you want to do a restore, but you can just launch from
Start > All programs > accesories > system tools > system restore.
Tell us what you problem is, maybe we can help further.

ummmm...I believe she wants to restore her PC..as in OS reinstall (Compaq provides a disc, called the Restore Disc), and not as in System Restore
Josey, you need to boot off of the Quick Restore CD that came with your computer and follow the instructions provided. I can't give you more details as branded computers have a different way of restoring the OS (another reason I hate branded PCs).

I thought that would be more of a Recovery, as in Recovery Disk. I'm sure if Josey tells us a little more about the problem, we can offer a little more about the solution.

try running windows update, see if there is an update for quick restore or if that doesn't work try searching for the folder "quicksr" (without quotation marks), open it then try opening the file "user backup". This should create a user back up and then try and run system restore. Hope this helps.
