You will lose all previoiusly activated GAOTD programs unless you did system backups. Copies of downloaded zip files will not get registered versions back. They will reinstall, but only as demos. You will not be able to activate again because their give away dates have expired.
More importantly, because everything will have to be reinstalled you will also lose all settings modifications you may have made to purchased software and lose work done in those programs. Maybe you can get help from a local computer tech for the .dll issue instead of doing a complete reformat yourself? Reformatting is a last resort, when all else fails. Calling in a local pro is always possible but there are other options.
Most local internet service providers offer tech support, free if a problem with their service and low fees for other support. If using a large national service you're probably on your own though. Another avenue for support is if there's a university nearby try calling their computer science department for referrals. Many students offer tech support for locals, they are quite good and their fees are very reasonable
