    Hi,

    With Vista OS, the unit were shipped with recovery Partition.
    1. Power On the unit
    2. Once the unit completes POST (ACER LOGO), Keep hitting Alt+F10, you should be able to boot to the recovery to reset the computer to factory

    Thanks for the reply.  I think I already tried that too, but I'll try it again (though not immediately; have other things to tend to).  Will let you know what happens.          Gene

    Sathya:

       Before I had success with Alt F10,  I couldn't find Acer eRecovery. Either my model doesn't have it or I deleted it some time ago.

       But again thanks for the help.  

       Actually, after getting past Alt F10, it was not completely straight forward.  I had to delete what was in the [    } and type in Acer eRecovery.
