BIOS utility
The BIOS utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Since most computers are already properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems and get the "Run Setup" message, you will need to run this utility.
Note: Before you run BIOS, make sure that you have saved all open files. The computer reboots immediately after you exit Setup.
To run the BIOS utility, press the Del key on your keyboard during computer boot up.
Reinstalling programs
If you uninstall one of the preinstalled programs and want to reinstall it, do the following:
1Make sure that the system is turned on.
2Insert the System CD into the CD or DVD drive.
3Select the application that you want to reinstall.
4Follow all onscreen instructions until you finish the installation.
Recovering your system
If your operating system files are lost or damaged, the recovery process will restore your system's original factory default settings or last system backup. Your Acer Veriton series computer includes an OBR (OneButton Recovery) button, a feature that makes restoring your system quick and easy.
OBR works from a hidden partition on your hard drive that contains all the information required to restore your system.
There are two modes to recover your system. One is from the system's original settings and another is from system backup.
Warning: Initiating the recovery operation while the operating system is running will result in abnormal shutdown and may make your current OS unstable or unusable.
