I know this has probably been answered many times, but
what's one more !?!

Can I reinstall my original ME (OEM version) system on my
computer without it removing all of my programs? All I
want to do is "start over" with the OS and re-update. Is
this possible, or will everything be wiped clean?

Thanks,

Greg

I just did this and it did not wipe everything clean, but
I am having problems getting ME to recognize software
still there - especially printer driver and Word. I need
help on this!

How (exactly!) did you do the reinstall?

details of your current error messages, and what you see in Device Manager
while in Safe Mode would also help diagnose your problems (read the links
under my sig for some ideas of the information we need!)
