But there are two kinds of re-install.

1. Clean reinstall where you delete the program, the registry entries and user data. In this case you would need to manually back up your passwords and bookmarks. There should be instructions around somewhere.

2. Install over the top of the old installation. OK for updating etc but if the problem is in your profile may not be successful.

Not much help I know, but maybe get you started.
