You should have been supplied a System Restore CD with the laptop when you
bought it. Use it to return everything to factory specs.

You may have the Windows installation files in a folder on your hard drive
{such as Windows/I386}. Try Start, Run and run:

SFC /scannow

If you do, the Windows files should be replaced.
