I have an acer aspire 5517 and I want to restore it factory settings. I tried the alt+f10 but it didn't work. My acer erecovery isn't working either and I need to know if there is another eay to go about resolving my problem. Thanks
hey, it you hold the alt key, then press it a few times it might work. i have the 5532 series and it didn't work at first. i called them, and they said you have to do it before any windows screen pops up, it will load to a screen that says no execute option(along the lines of saying that, i don't remember exactly.) then hit enter hold the power button and run a normal start-up, it will then say windows is loading files, pass the windows screen with the 4 windows, then a menu will come up. if you want files still, click restore settings and backup files. it will then send the files to C
Backup.(to find this folder, go to my computer, and dig around.) after thet you will have successfully reset your computer. good luck
