How to Return to Factory Settings?

Sep 8th, 2009

I have a Averatec 2370 Windows XP laptop and I want to restore it to factory settings so I can give it to my cousin who doesn't havea computer. I backed up all my important files and tried to find how to do it but so far no luck.
Any advice on how to figure this out?
I have returned my desktop Compaq to factory settings before but the Acer is giving me a headache.
thanks, Mike

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Hi,
If the PC did not come with a CD with setup or an area on the hard drive with it on, you will have to contact the company for information on their product.

BACK-UP.........Try one of the simple solutions first........and BACK-UP......
