I recently installed a new hard drive in my PC. &nbsp;After restoring the data I noticied a few things here and there that didn't seem quite right. &nbsp;Most noticeably, I can't install Sidekick 95 (it did install fine on another PC) and a few other programs aren't running up to snuff. &nbsp;<br />

My question is can I simply reinstall Win95 and Plus and maintain the current registry entries? &nbsp;A friend of mine said there were a few files I would need to back up prior to reinstalling. &nbsp;And then after the reinstall simply copy them back to the same directory. &nbsp;I don't want Win95 to lose sight of all the apps I have installed (i.e Office95).
