Hey Dragonlord, if you hate reinstalling Windows (Don't we all?), then I highly recommend that you invest a small amount in good backup software like Acronis. I don't even run antivirus. I just backup regularly. Then when something goes wrong, I just backtrack on the backups until the problem disappears. It only takes me minutes to restore, and it saves me the hassle of locating each and every program and utility I need and reinstalling it. In the past few years, I have probably crashed my system about fifty times installing various stuff, and when it goes wrong, I just use the backup, and everything goes back to the way it was in a few minutes. It's awesome! I don't worry about any of it. I just use the computer, and before I risk installing anything new that might muck up the system, I do a new incremental backup. Try it, you'll love it.
