you have to do that sometimes. Every windows needs a re-install every couple of years (and I'm being nice, because i wish I could do it more often but all the fuss that comes with it.. pfff)
You can install Firefox or Chrome and I think he will just ask whether he should import your current browser's favorites et al.

Nah not any more. Win7 is very stable and most problems can be fixed without drastic re-installation. And I'm a person that used to reinstall xp every month or so. If you're using firefox then backup your bookmarks, passwords etc using MozBackup, create a new profile then restore the backup into it. If you're using a different browser, then god be with you, lol.
