backup ur fifa 2005 folder from ur my documents > my fifa to some other partition or media like floopy or cd and then format ur system and Install the game again and replace the folder by the backup...
P.S.- which team have u chosen ?

Also - y that unrelated poll ?
bonus ?

OOps -
to reinstall XP, use the boot up disk and on the boot screen that appears jus press ENTER>F8>ENTER and let the process finish...
(BTW - Not sure of the keys , better read instructions (easy) )
now the comp will reboot and then when it is rebootin, remove the cd or let it be and avoid the boot disk...

next a winXP style window appears , asks u a key after language...
enter it and then wait for the installation to complete...
thats it !

jus read the instructions on the screen and follow wht u like
P.S. > Why do u want to fomat ?
plz post the reason, maybe we can correct that too...

That's because no one has posted. If someone had posted, then if you edit, the "message" some. You had edited before I posted, so it's not shown.

Hi guys,
The reason i wanted to format is that my computer is dead slow.Idon't know why but it never used to be like this.
