Reinstalling Vista Home Premium?

I have a few problems on my PC that i just cannot resolve "even when i do a system restore" plus i cant uninstall Internet Explorer 9 (beta) as it's that latest version, i have been told that if i back up my files on an external hard drive then format the hard drive, Windows Vista Home Premium should reinstall itself automatically as it was preloaded when i purchased my PC, is this true or do i need to fork out a small fortune for a new Windows upgrade disc ???

Welcome
YOu have either recieved a DVD with the OS, or have it on a Recovery partition or both
If you have the recoverypartition then you just press certain f key during boot to return to factrory specs. It will be like the day you brought it home
If you have your computer manual look up factory specs.
If not you can find the information on line at the website of your Manufacturer, example Dell or we can help

I'll try to restore the factory settings but i have silly problems like for eg, i insert an audio cd and WPM does not play it automatically like it used to, and when i change that setting, it still does not play the music cd automatically, i recently installed IE9 (beta) and after trying that out, i want IE8 back on.... but i just cant do anything to resolve this.

I have no DVD with the OS as it was already preloaded on my PC on the date of purchase mate....
