How to boot my computer without install Windows and how to repair my Window XP?

July 11, 2009

I had Pop-up Virus and I used Mcafee to clean them. It didn’t clean them well. Then I used Spybot. But I think Spybot deleted some of my system files in Window XP. I can’t boot my computer now. I have Dell reinstallation CD. But I don’t want to install the Whole Window and erase all my data and softwares. Some of my softwares, such as Microsoft Office, came with my Dell computer but I don’t have the CD to re-install them. Is it possible I can boot my computer and repair my Window XP?
Please help!
Thanks everyone! I’ll try your advices at home tonight.

Do I really need a registry cleaner?

July 11, 2009

I have read articles that suggests using registry cleaners to restore a system’s performance. However, I have also read a article in a Windows XP forum that says cleaning the registry will essentially degrade system’s performance rather than restoring it. How true is this? Dedicated for IT experts.
