Hi guys!
My pc at home went kaput.  I'm sure it is just the power switch or fuse, lol.  
Anyways, I was doing a windows update friday night and when it restarted it did 
the memory check then went to a black screen and had a white box telling me 
that windows.exe is not found - Please reinstall windows.  I click ok and it 
tells me of a c:windows/system/xxxx.dll file is missing.  I click ok again and 
it just sits there.

ABS is supposed to call me tonight to help cause a windows disk was not 
included 4.5 yrs ago when I got the system.  My question is if I have to 
reinstall windows will it lose any files I have stored?  I haven't done a 
backup in a while so I hope not.  It originally had Win ME, should I just go 
get Win XP?

Thanks guys!

Sincerely,
