when you log in it goes to the screensaver well that's what it looks like. there is no recovery disk or windows on this acer aspire one AOD255E. I haven't found a way to factory reset it because alt f10 does not work and ive also tried the f9 and nothing
 
Solution
Often the laptop vendor will make a recovery/install disc(s) available to you at a nominal charge, u may even buy them on eBay, assuming of course, you have the license#.

Another option is, install from a generic Windows disc/download, and then, apply the laptop-specific drivers from Acer, which should be available from their website. This option does not take into consideration existing repair/recovery partition already on the HD.
