Move your precious files to a CD or thumb drive, try to keepo (System Information for Windows (SIW)) format, and install a decent antivirus, update it, and do a system scan, now move your files back, and start installing the programs you need...if you fail to have any device work properly, and it happens you dont have its appropriate drivers, run SIW and you will find out the name of the device, so you download its drivers off the net easier.
