Use your leopard discs to do a re-install. You DO have them right? 
Or if you don't you would have to go and buy new ones. Using tiger discs doesn't sound like a good idea.

He's right. You don't need to original disks that came with your machine, just whatever system disk that is the most recent.
When you boot up to them, you can install using the OPTIONs button and select Archive and Install while Preserving user data. This will just re-install the base system and hopefully leave all your personal data intact. (of course, always have a backup, just in case

the CD's that came with my computer originally are tiger discs....but last time i tried to use them they didn't work. My computer is a huuuge mess if you've read my other posts...this just is the icing on the cake.
Yeah, but clearly you have/had a Leopard disk or you would not have been able to upgrade to Leopard. Use that.
Oh, and if you don't mind, please learn the English language. Would it kill you to write a descriptive subject line using real words?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you don't actually own a copy of Leopard. I find it hard to believe anybody spends £70 on a DVD and then doesn't put it in a safe place should the worst happen. Even if you borrowed the DVD from somebody it's still against the EULA.
Tough luck. Go out and buy it.
