Are you sure it's not your videomode set improperly?

Does safemode work?

You said it is a work computer? If your wife works for a company (which owns the computer), they should have the resources to re-install the operating system on the computer.

If you own the computer, then yes, I guess you may be on your own. I doubt any here can "give" you a restore CD, it's not really that easy (or legal depending on the intent).

I have seen this problem with older monitors and equipment, is there another monitor you can try?

You can restore Compaq system by using integrated backup into hidden partition, while boot up (when Compaq logo appears) press F10 if I remember and you have a menu to choose what you want to do.
