A while ago I got a Compaq Presario 7240 handed down to me. The other night I used the Quarterdeck Cleansweep 95 floppy disks to clean out my hard drive. Since this was the first time I’d used CleanSweep 95, I followed the step-by-step directions of its manual very carefully, backing up everything I was uninstalling. However, when I logged off, then tried to log back in again, the computer kept telling me that Windows 95 wasn’t coming on, and kept recommending that I log on in Safe Mode. I had a Windows 95 reboot disk from my old HP computer, but when I tried to use it, I got the following message:

The recovery program has stopped. This is not an IBM computer. The “Microsoft Windows 95” CD and this diskette cannot be used to install Windows 95 on this computer.

Whatever I tried, I ended up getting the message “It is now safe to turn off your computer”. Is there any way I can download a Windows 95 disk that is compatible with the Compaq Presario 7240? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
