First, yes doing a clean install will affect your JAWS registration
since a clean install will wipe your hard disk clean. Second, you will
need to have your drivers ready as Windows XP does not come with every
make and model of hardware that it supports. Under the hood, if you hear
no sound, then it means Windows hasn't recognized your sound card and
therefore you need to download drivers. Last but not least, you might be
able to reinstall MS Word 2000 OEM, however you'll be stuck if you're
asked for a product key. Somewhere on the packaging there should be a
product key. If not, I would consider saving up and buy Office 2003. I
hope this helps, and have fun reinstalling Windows!
P.S. Warning! After installing Windows XP You will have 30 days to
activate it. After that you'll be locked out until it's activated.
