Re: [PCWorks] Acer Aspire One Netbook - screen size

Hi David and everyone,

What's Erunt?  I could do a system restore, but I got the program installed
by using "tab" and "enter" and guessing what the location of the buttons
was!  So I'm not really worried about it right now.  Just thought I'd ask
in case anyone had a quick solution.  I will surely check out some of your
suggestions next week when I have more time.

Thanks everyone for helping me out!

Janet

Hello, Janet,
I am not familiar with the Acer Aspire One Netbook.
However, I have seen laptops that have an icon or link in the Help and
Control Center (it's in the Start menu) that restores default settings.
It may be able to help you.
If that doesn't help, and if you have Erunt installed, then you should be
able to get your original settings back.
If not, then you can always fall back on System Restore, and hope for the
best.
