I just need to do a factoy restore on a Dell Windows Vista. When I hit F8, the Advanced Boot Menu appears but there is no option to "restore my computer." I have tried other numbers too like F11. What should I do?

Hi, See if this works

1. Reboot, and press Ctrl + F11 at the Dell logo.
2. The Dell™ PC Restore by Symantec screen will come up.
3. Select "Restore" or use the Tab key to highlight it and press Enter.
4. if you wish to continue, click "Confirm", or use the Tab key to highlight it and press Enter.
5. When the utility is finished, click "Finish", or use the Tab key to highlight it and press Enter.

Alway's back up your important files before you start.
