Upgrading would certainly be the best option.  However, this shouldn't happen.  When you do the install, start from a fresh reboot (power off) and then do CTRL-ALT-DEL and endtask EVERYTHING running except Explorer and Systray.  If you have antivirus software or anticrash software disable all that before the install.

Good thing you are smart enough to back up.
