Hi, just want to let everyone know I think I got it. She has a program on it
that is called RX Rollback. When it tries to boot up a screen will come on
that says "to rollback press the HOME key". The little notebook has
something else on the same key as the "home" is. So I had the idea to try
another keyboard, just because I could not think of anything else I could
still try. To my amazement - with another keyboard attached, the rollback
worked!
Now all her stuff is safe. The only thing that still needs to be taken care
of is that her IE and also Mozilla that she had - they both don't work. So
guess all that's left for me to do is dl one from my external harddrive.
Thank you all for your help!
Trudy

Yes whatever you do, don't void the warranty. You mentioned that it had
a backup system on the D: drive. Does the device have a Bios that you
can direct to boot from the D: Drive to replace the system. I realize it
will lose any data that she has on the system but at least if it is
still functioning it should be able to restore it to the factory settings.

that out I would have to take the whole netbook apart. I don't want to try
do this, because I am not sure if she wants to use the 1 year warranty and
try to send it in to Acer for exchange.

that I could use to boot to the recovery. The problem is that the little
laptop does not have a cd rom drive and it does not want to communicate with
my external cd drive. I was just playing around with it, trying all kinds of
different things, and now it said "the drive is no longer valid". The little
computer is only a few months old. I was thinking maybe a faulty harddrive.
I was thinking to have the sister go back to Walmart and se
e about exchange. The problem is that the sister insists that she needs the
information that is on it.
