I have recommended the following simple precaution before, but no harm mentioning
it once again.
Before taking any action in regard to a possibly damaged Windows installation, first
make a copy of the Windows folder (which is usually C:\WINDOWS) as C:\WINOLD
Then whatever the install / upgrade / reinstall CD does will only affect the C:\WINDOWS
folder, not the backup folder at C:\WINOLD.
All of the old settings will be preserved in the backup folder you've created. So
if the repair action goes wrong, or you just don't like what it achieves, you can
restore your original settings by deleting the folder C:\WINDOWS and renaming C:\WINOLD
to C:\WINDOWS in its place.
