Registry Cleaner

[RealtorJohn]

I used a registry cleaner & got my register cleaned. I am Running XP-Pro.
Among other things, I am No longer able to get into Outlook. Alos unable to
restore some Word Docs.
I have not been able to restore to a point that solves my problems.
What would happen if I reinstalled Windows & then Reinstalled Office? Would
all of my data be wiped out?

To answer your question, in a nut shell YES. When you install or reinstall
your OS it overwrites the previously installed system. All of your files
would be lost at this point. IF you need to save those files you should back
them up to a portable flash drive, seperate hard drive, or burn them to a CD.
Good luck.
