You phone the Mighty Baal, which is a toll-free call and then get told what to
type (click "Start", then "Run...", then "cmd"...).
One difference between Linux and Windows is that with Linux you could do
virtually /anything/ from the CLI (and it's quicker this way if you already
know how to do it). With Windows, failing the GUI and that crippled CLI, you
have to (r)estart/(r)eboot/(r)einstall app/(r)einsatll O/S/bring to (r)epair,
which is costly (time and/or money).
