Hello sean_FULL,

The green e button at the top right corner is called the Empowering Key. It is used to launch the Acer Empowering technology on the Acer Aspire 5315 computer.

Here's a good link to the Acer support web site that has more information about the Acer Empowering Technology: http://support.acer-euro.com/empowering_technology/

If this solution is helpful please click 'YES' by 'Was this helpful?' below.

Have a great day,

Hi,
Basically the application isn't there, that's why when you press the "e" button on the computer it says ''the system cannot find the file specified''.

What you need to do is download the appropriate software from Acer support, download empowering technology here >>>>>>>>>>>>

Good luck.

Hi cliveboltman,

I assume you want to reinstall the acer empowering technology application.The application can be found in the Acer disc that you received with the laptop. If you misplaced or lost your disc, you can always download it from the www.acer.com website just specify your computer model and from there you can download the application. For further assistance please call your computer manufacturer.

Hope this helps!

Peace! :)

What i would do is get a windows installation cd (the type used by computer builders) install it, and put in your windows xp key, that green sticker with numbers

GET A VALID WINDOWS XP PROGRAM DISC AND IT WILL ALLOW A REPAIR OR WILL LOAD FRESH WINDOWS XP PROGRAM will boot itself once boot device priority is set to cd dvd rom to boot first. WHEN COMPUTER POWER IS TURNED ON HOLD F2 as computer comes on iwill come up in bios mode choose boot priority to change boot sequence from harddrive to cd or dvd rom first

Start it in safe mode by tapping the F8 key right after you turn it on.


Then:

start

settings

control panel

add/remove programs

Remove all the 'empowering technology' programs.

Reboot in normal mode.

What os are you wanting? I need to know which platform you're using.
