Certain components in windows are starting to bug up on me; the generic screensavers crash my system and movie maker can no longer make movies. Anyway, I don't know of any way to install these individual components from the winxp CD, so is it possible for me to re-install the entire OS without having to format the hard drive? Will this affect the other software on my system?
Thanks for any help.
