How can I repair Windows 7?

I want to reinstall Windows without losing my applications. Does such a method exist?

I am having some issues with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (see the image below) - I've repaired it, reinstalled it and applied a new configuration file but the problem still exists. I figure reinstalling Windows might fix the problem.

Visual Studio 2010 is extremely hard to completely uninstall.
You would need the Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility.

To repair Windows 7 without losing the still-installed applications, see
How to Perform a Startup Repair in Windows 7.
See also Startup Repair: frequently asked questions.

However, if you still have a system restore point from just before the installation of VS2010, I would restore it rather than reinstalling Windows.
