    My daughter has an Acer Aspire 5100 Laptop computer. She was having problems with it and had someone reinstall the software. They didn't install it through the E-recovery. They installed an illegal copy of windows and now she cant update or download anything. I want to install the correct version of windows through e-recovery but I can't find it on the computer. What can I do to fix this problem? I have already tried the Alt - F10 trick and that doesn't work. Please help.

    Hey Billy, sounds to me like whoever worked on your computer didnt activate windows with the OEM key on the laptop, check your activation. Windows tends to quit working if it isnt activated after a certain peroid of time =)
