Hello,
I have a Compaq Mini 110 that I would like to restore to factory settings. Unfortunately, I do not have any recovery CDs, which would be useless anyway since my mini-PC doesn't have an optical drive.
Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: System restore to a previous date does not work.

Hello to both of you and thank you so much for your responses! (It's so nice not to feel alone!!!)
I've been going in circles for over a week without finding a solution to my problem, and it was you, Vardok, who put me on the right track!
The F8 option doesn't actually offer a factory reset, but I was able to access safe mode to resolve my issue! (It was something really silly, in fact, so now I feel dumb and frustrated for having to deprive myself of my PC for nothing or almost).
Anyway, it's really your phrase "There might be a way to fix your problem without reformatting" that clicked in my little desperate brain and wow! In just a few seconds, everything was sorted out!
So a big THANK YOU!!!
