Go to control panel.
They can mean one of two things.
1. There is a System icon in the control panel. Double-click on that and then pull up Properties.
or
2. Right-click on System then pull up Properties.

The System icon looks like a little computer monitor.

You can also use the emergency CDs that came with your HP if you still have them. They work pertty good. I have an HP. Just insert the CD into the CD tray then reboot. The computer should check the CD drive and boot from there.HTH
