I don't know if this qualifies as *the* BSD, grin, but it sounds close.  One
of our folks has a laptop (Compaq 1580 series) that has been giving him
fits.  When he first boots up, he gets a blue screen with no background
image that used to be there.  Instead, in the upper corner of the blue
screen, it says "1998 Super Win Software".  In order to get rid of this
screen, he must reboot with CTL, ALT DEL.  He can get to his menu bar, but
that's the only way he can access programs now.  Icons are gone off the
desktop (there is no more desktop).  He mentioned that, when he first
started having trouble, he got the error message "Setup.dll not found" but
doesn't even get that any more.

Any thoughts on what to do?
