My grandaughter has a Acer Aspire and suddenly a lot of the apps have stopped running, ie, when you open Windows Explorer you get an message "Cannot find exlorer.exe", this happens with quitea few other apps. I downloaded a file and when I used Run to install, it said it could noy find the downloaded file.

I tried using the Acer management tol to restore Vista from the hidded partition, but that would not run, again could not find the .exe

Anyone any ideas how I could restore Vista, otherwise it looks as though I am going to have to put my spare XP OS onto it, don't want to do that because it means I have to go and find all the drivers for it. I don't have a Vista setp disk.

Any help would be appreciated.
