Hi Ayushya,

Follow below steps to restore “Repair Your Computer “option:

Note: If you can, backup any important information before starting this process.

Click Start
In the start menu search box type in tg
Right click on the file called tg
Click on Run as Administrator
Continue through the User Account Control messages
Wait for the process to finish - this usually takes a few minutes depending on your computer

This file will run through installing Adobe Reader, Power 2 Go and add in the F8 Repair Your Computer option.

Once it has finished, restart the computer and keep tapping F8 - you should now be able to see the Repair Your Computer option.

Awaiting your response!
