its a quick fix if you dont care about what you have on your system. i've recovered from a lot of crashes, virus, os currupts. formating is just the easy way out but if you want to know how to fix the problem and stop it from happening googling the problem helps. and if your registry is corrupt windows does have a registry repair that you can get to with the boot cd or booting to cmd prompt. windows keeps backup of the registry after every update so chance are one of those backups will be good.
a tech center or geeksquad wouldn't even bother exploring those options they'd just tell you to format. and yes this is one area i can get all holy grail on cause i can 95% of the time recover any computer from a crash or problem.
