I have a dell dimension 4100 and I'm using windows ME. I'd like to restore my computer to factory settings. I've made back-ups of what I don't want to lose and I have all of the disks/cds that came with the computer. The only hardware that's been installed is an ethernet card and I have the disk that came with that. How should I restore my computer?

I wanted to do the same thing, restore to factory settings.
I put in my CDs just to check what was on the CDs and how i may restore to factory settings. When i put the 3rd Cd in the drive my computer Automatically started preparing for a Format&restore, and then asked me if i wanted to do a complete format & restore, i clicked yes and then my computer was formated and restored as it was when new. Hope this helps.
