You are a lucky person.  In my limited experience with Windows, a 
re-install has happened more than that.  I did try the re-install but 
that was useless due to all the secondary applications.

Heck, even Steve Ballmer, CEO for Microsoft needs to re-install Windows 
when it gets to rough.

My biggest headache has always been registry problems.

But that is my experience.
