It depends on when you bought the computer.  Try Cntrl-F11 on restarting the machine.  If PC restore is on the machine, then it should restore the system to the state it was in when shipped.  You will lose everything that has been added since.   http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?docid=DC493DC313321A9BE030A68F27281E82&c=us&l=en&s=gen   Steve
