Repairing Leopard from CD - will I have to format?

[faciem]

Hi. Just a general question. I cannot install any updates. Get a "run preflight script" error. I've tried repairing my disc permissions to no avail. I want to repair with the disc that came with my MBP. Will I be able to just repair the OS without reformatting and reinstalling? I ask this because I have SO MANY progs (as well as parallels with winXP) and such on the mac and it would take an entire day to reinstall everything. Just wanted to know if I could avoid that.

Thanks!!!!!!

Yes. In the installer, when prompted, tell it to archive & install, and select the "preserve users and network settings" option.
