Ummm... there's usually not a great reason to do that. I know it's the 
traditional "Windows Way" of the past, but usually looking for actual 
solutions first is better than "reinstall because it might be 
corrupted". To put it in snarky terms: reach for the sledgehammer only 
once you know the use of a sledge is warranted.

Have you tried searching for this through a search engine?  A really 
quick try shows several hits, including some StackOverflow articles. 
There's no way for us to judge if any of those scenarios actually would 
apply to your case, so suggesting you take a look first.
