Dell Area-51 ALX manual Using AlienRespawn

AlienRespawn v2.0

NOTE: Back up all data before initiating a system recovery. Backup functionality is included in AlienRespawn™ v2.0, but as a precaution it is recommended to backup critical files onto an external media before

initiating recovery.

AlienRespawn™ v2.0 is a recovery solution which is capable of resolving many software-related problems, including operating system configuration errors, driver installation errors, system file corruption, spyware or virus infection (when used in conjunction with antivirus software), and more.

Unlike other restoration methods, AlienRespawn v2.0 offers the ability to return your computer to its factory default settings without permanently losing your saved data.

If AlienRespawn v2.0 is unable to resolve your problem, contact Alienware Technical Support (for more information, see “CONTACTING ALIENWARE“ on page 70).
