I've a few questions and any help would be apprciated.
I have Windows XP Home Edition that came with my computer when I brought it. Recently, I've accumulated a large number of viruses that constantly reinstall themselves on my computer because there's one that spawns them in the system. I need to reinstall windows yet I do not have the CD. Is it possible to reinstall windows without the CD and if I do reinstall, does it delete all the files in my registry.
Thank you in advance

In short, no, that is not possible. I suppose you could "borrow" a version of a "friend on the internet", burn it out and install from that, then restore your registry and settings with a ghost.

You should contact the company you bought your PC from and demand they hand over the windows CD. If windows comes with the computer, they should supply a CD as well. If they refuse, contact Microsoft and report them. . . or simply threaten to do so.
