Windows XP Pro ShutDown Problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My machine (Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop) seems to function okay except it will
not shutdown properly. When I tell it to shutdown or restart, the screen
gets to the point where it says "shutting down" but it stays there.

I was thinking that I could reinstall XP Pro to make sure all of the Windows
files are installed but I do not want to affect my other programs and the
registry.

Can someone tell me how to reinstall Windows XP Pro (I have my installation
CD) without affecting the registry and the existing program and data files?

Thanks in advance
