    You won't lose your files, necessarily. If you do, just don't format the HDD (hard drive). Choose the "Custom" option. When you do, you'll see a message that says your files will be placed in a folder named "Windows.old". After the install, you will see, whenever you click on the C:\ drive, you will see the folder. Open it and find your "User" folder, where you'll see your user name, and go from there.

    Hope this helps...

    Have you reinstalled windows? Maybe this will fix it. I haven't tried it because i don't want my files lost.

    Sorry about my frustration. I guess i needed it off my chest. But the thing is that i had office '13 installed, i uninstalled it, but i can't reinstall it.

    peace
