My dell laptop is fairly new (got in in July 06) and it started causes problems from the start without even getting on the Internet. A whole range, I could tell you them but that would take forever my main two problems:

My system/computer is deleting some stuff of mine (i.e music, word documents) (started about a month ago) I deleted that user account after all my fles got delted, it started after I did this LogMien thing with someone to detect my cd drive problem. This user account deletes and moves some of my files but I am saving them not such a big problem. Anyone know any good place to save files? I currently use GMail and eSnips.

My optical/CD drive is not being detected (Started about two months ago)

I heard the best thing to do is to some how save my files and then reinstall my Windows XP (the system or program I have) My main two questions are:

Does reinstalling Windows XP fix the optical drive?
Can I reinstall Windows XP using the WINNT32, since my CD drive is not being detected?

I cannot take it in so please don't say that as an option, any help please?

What is C:\WINDOWS\system32\fxscom.dll do I need that? It says it is missing in my Abexo
Also my internet has been not working well and very slow and sometimes I can get on, and sometimes I can't
And my computer space has been going down what could cause this?
