Tasi's done it again..., Anyone really good with computers? ;_;

All right...so, I downloaded SpyBot to take out some of my spyware...But it keeps bringing up windows if I want to allow/deny changes that were apparently made....Somewhere alone the line, I must have clicked the wrong one.

So...I can't connect to the internet now. There's no connectivity bar in my tray, I'm trying everything I can think of, but can't really tell you guys what, 'cause I'm mucking around, and don't know what half the things are called off hand. Nothing seems to work...However, I'm pretty positive it's a *gasp* registry problem.

So it seems one of my options is just to re-install windows. I've gotta find my CDs....if I have 'em..but anyone have any other ideas?

-And- if I re-install windows, will I lose all of my files that I've saved? (pictures, etc. ) I've got some really special ones on there...and I don't wanna lose 'em. Oh, and the computer won't recognise it when I plug in my external harddrive.

I really shouldn't be allowed near computers...lol Oh what a lovely way to spend my first real day off in 11 days....

Can anyone help me out? (I'm borrowing mom and sis's computers, so I can't really be checking them all the time. So, that may be why I'm slow to respond. )

Okay, so one of the things I found that I tought could help told me to go into 'Run' and open up the 'cmd'. Then, I was supposed to type in ipconfig/release...
I got the messages:
"No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected."
"No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its media disconnected."

Okay...so how do I re-connect these?
