On start up I hit F8 and got to the "Repair Your Computer"; went there but when the username and password came up, it was blank. I filled in my regular information (only user created on the computer) and it was rejected. And my Windows Vista Home Basic was preinstalled. WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Rough. Alright, might have your back on this one. So, did you type in your log-in name and leave the password field blank and click "OK"? If that didn't work, there is another option. Instead of entering "Repair My Computer" choose "Safe Mode". Often times, there is a hidden administrator account on some systems that doesn't have a password. If you only see your profile listed when you get to the log in screen, then shut it down and restart. If you do see the administrator account log in and delete the user account. If you only saw your profile listed, log in to Windows in normal mode and check the Start>All Programs list for an Acer Recover Utility that might allow you to begin the process from within windows.
