Just a side comment from the peanut gallery...

I was referring to the fact that in most cases, the solution in the end 
most often IS to just reformat and reinstall because there's so much 
cruft/crap/crud in the registry and Windows directories that that is 
the best solution, unless you want to spend an extra couple days trying 
to sort everything out.
