You should have patience, and you should be doing your own research using the tools that are available to you, eg google search, Exchange Help etc. This is not your personal help desk. When someone has an answer for you they will answer, whining about it will not get an answer any quicker, it's more likely to stop people answering. To answer your question. Backup your databases and re-install Exchange. If all goes well you will lose nothing.
