I have an Acer Travelmate 8215WLMi which has today developed a problem!
Previously
it was running alright using Vista Professional but when I try to start
the laptop, it lets me log-in using my password but then gives me the
blue screen of death.
The only specific information on the blue screen screen is as follows:
I have searched google and the microsoft help site but don't seem to be able to come up with any solution.
I
am able to access safe mode and have been led to believe this may point
to it being a problem with software rather than hardware?
As an
aside, I also want to restore my laptop to factory settings but am not
sure how to do it. The laptop came preinstalled with Windows XP (no
disk was provided), which I upgraded using the Acer Vista upgrade disk.
I am unhappy with vista and would prefer to go back to using XP but do
not have an XP disk. I believe there is a keystoke sequence that can be
used to factory restore an Acer machine but I am unsure what it is -
can anyone help?
