You could try a system restore to the day before the changes, go to accesories,system tools, system restore. The programmes should be there again but may not work correctly it's a fingers crossed job. The only other way to restore is if you have a restore partition on your hardrive or a restore disc, but normally there would be a programme built in to restore the notebook to factory settings.

This is the manufactures settings, where it was made. Not quite sure what you mean by English factory settings? Good luck

I'm trying to restore my Dell Inspiron 5160 to the factory settings

Hi Sharon Gross,

This is in regards to restoring the Dell Inspiron 5160 to factory state. Please try the steps mentioned by JonSnell Electronic but if this doesn't help (if the recovery partition is deleted) then you may have to purchase an operating system disc from a local store.

Thanks and Regards.
Kiran Kumar.

Hi there my daughter accidently put voice over on my iphone 4 now i cant get into my phone can you please help?

if she cannot open it, then you need to plug it into a computer and restore it, this should remove the voice, if that doesnt work use itunes again to restore to factory settings, this will remove the voice for sure, luckily any apps you may have downloaded would be in the app library in itunes, so all will be fine, i hope this helps

Acer 5535 how to restore back to factory settings

Hi

Thank you for your query

Restoring a laptop back to its factory settings can be done in one of 2 ways

1) Some manufacturers provide the recovery CD/DVD, simply put this disc in and restart the PC, the DVD/CD should boot and then you can follow the onscreen instructions

2) Some manufacturers provide hard drive based recovery, this mean rather than provide a CD/DVD,manufactueres put the recovery on a section of the hard drive. To use this method you click on start>Programs then find the name of the manufacturers folder. In this folder there will be a programme titled system recovery, factory settings. Click on this and follow through on the instructions

If this has been useful please leave postive feedback/vote
