(In the hypothesis it has not been updated for a year). Yes, there is no 
*reason* in the meaning that there is no absolute need for it, and that 
everything can be fixed.

But reinstalling can nonetheless be the fastest, safest, easiest 
alternative.

I understand the Linux community has some taboo related to reinstalling 
as a mark of the "Microsoft evil", but we should just reason and take 
into account it as one of the possibilities to consider (the problem is 
that, in MS world, it is often the *only* possibility to consider).
