windows wont open campaq presaro

Checked a system for a friend--compaq-- when system is turned on it goes through normal boot up sequence and opens to a screen saver and the following messages appear
Mprexe---illegal oper
msgsrv32---illegal oper
vshwin32---illegal oper
isdbdc---illegal oper
each message comes up after closing previous one until the last one---System is now frozen or appears to be if I hit alt/ctrl/del the window appears but no explorer program is indicated---the window is blank--- After hitting a second time system goes into fatal exemption error--blue screen----I have also tried to reboot system with Quick restore disc from compaq but nothing happens all I get is a blank screen

no thats the big problem it will come up to screen to go to safe mode but wont go into safe mode so I cant check anything---have gotten to screen windows is bypassing your startup files
himen is testing extended memory...done
then get this message
error loading user.exe you must reinstall windows.
that is what I am trying to do but system wont accept the compaq quick rerstore
