P C Restore
I have a Inspiron1520 with XP and am trying to gain access to PC Restore. When I press ctrl F11 at the blue screen it takes me directly to Windows start page.
Any idea what may cause this and how I can access P C Restore

Using PC Restore in Windows XP or Media Center
1 Turn on the computer.
2 When the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and hold and then press . Then, release both keys at the same time.
3 In the Dell PC Restore by Symantec window, click Restore. Alternatively, press to highlight Restore, and then press .
4 When a warning message appears stating that all data will be lost, click Confirm, or press to highlight Confirm and then press .
The Progress window will appear. Once the restore process starts, Dell PC Restore by Symantec usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes to finish.
When the restore process is complete, the following message will appear:
The system recovery process was successful.
5 Click Finish or press to highlight Finish and then press to restart the computer.
The software is now installed as it was when the computer was first received.
