If you reinstall windows over your windows now without formatting the drive then all the information including pictures documents and programs will still be there, you may need to reinstall the programs for windows to work with them correctly, but windows reinstall will not delete your personal files

I would backup your documents folder onto a CD before you do so. Do you have a burner?
If you just reinstall windows you should be ok.
However, it's never a good idea to keep doing such without backing up your data.

Maybe depends on how you install it. If you use the existing partition without formatting the drive you will not loose your files. However just in case something goes bad I would save all of the files to a disk before installation.
Hope that helps

yes you will. of course you can always back up the items you do not want to lose to disc prior to reloading, then you just reload it off of the disc when you get windows reinstalled

it will delete your files and such so i suggest a flashdrive to put your files like music and pictures.
the program files will have to be reinstalled.
