Never ever ever ever ever ever install Windows over top of an existing installation; I don't know if that's what you meant by re-installing programs or not. Never do -- it'll make the situation worse.
If you plan to re-install windows, get everything important backed up off the drive, format the drive, and insert the windows CD. The rest is straight forward if you've done it before.
