Most people reboot (restart their computers) at least once a day or
so. Most people *never* need to reinstall Windows.

If you're not sure, then describe exactly what you did and how you did
it.

Exactly what problems?

Who told you this? Did he tell you how to do it? If he told you to
reboot, and you reinstalled instead, that's like somebody telling you
to change the spark plugs in your car, and you replaced the engine
instead.

If you reinstalled instead of rebooting, there's no surprise there.
When you reinstall, you lose *all* your information

Regarding your mail sounds, did you do what I suggested? Go to Start |
Settings | Control Panel | Sounds.
