I need to know how to restore a emachine desk top to factory settings without a disk

If you do not have a disk then you will have to run a cleaner and remove all programs that are on your computer that are not necessary. Otherwise you would have to format the hard drive and reinstall a different operating system.

(1) Go to start menu(2) Click on all programs(3) click on Emachine(4) click on Emachine recovery management(5) Click on restore on the bar across the top(6) click on restore to system factory default
Some emachines can be restored by pressing ALT+F10, but not sure on your model. Give it a try if you can't restore it to factory defaults using Emachine recovery management.

Usually e-machine and other pc's have a factory restore setting set up in case of an error. You can; according to emachine tap the "Alt" and "F10" keys at the same time when the eMachines logo appears. Press "Enter" and follow the directions on the screen to recover the operating system back to factory condition. I hope that helps, if those keys don't work try F11 at the emachine logo. Good luck.

If you cannot run Windows...1 Restart your computer, then press the ALT+F10 keys during startup. 2 Follow the on-screen instructions to finish. IMPORTANT • • If your hard drive has failed and you can't restore the software from the hard drive or recovery discs, contact eMachines Customer Care for help. After you restore your computer, it will appear with the same files and programs it had when it shipped from the factory. You still need to download Windows updates and antivirus updates to bring your computer's software up to date.

emachines does not provide any factory restore option in computer, in fact you might have received factory restore disks when you bought it, which can be used to restore your computer Or you can check with emachines if they can provide you these disks
hope this helps

ask emachines for duplicate dvds of your startup disks.
your os is Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic
any copy of that would work, but you wouldn't have the cyberlink or other software

before doing that
you may first try checking for viruses or startup programs
and then reinstalling any game software

maybe your sims is broken. verify that it works on another machine

Sorry, according to the repair manual, you need the recovery disk even if you use F11 option to reset everything to factory.
