functioning optimally:

Reinstalling Applications
Applications preinstalled or preloaded on your computer can
be reinstalled by using the Recovery disc or a third-party
software disc.
✎
In most cases, the applications preloaded on your computer,
such as those available in the Software Setup utility, can be
reinstalled from your hard drive. To access the Software Setup
utility, select Start > All Programs > Software Setup.
The application reinstallation process replaces corrupted system
files within the application and reinstalls deleted system files
within the application.
■ In most cases: If the application you are reinstalling is still
installed on your computer, the reinstallation process does not
affect your settings within the application.
■ In all cases: If an application has been deleted from your
computer, the reinstallation process reinstalls the application
or utility to the factory image but cannot restore your
personal settings.
