Ron,
There is an undocumented way to do a fresh nondestructive reinstall of
Windows XP which will not destroy any of your data or applications. You get
a fresh reinstall of all the windows files.
You will need sighted help to run the install as you always need with a
Windows install until your sound and screen reader are up and running.
I can dig up the information if you are interested.
