Default Incomplete startup of Me

My computer running Me will not finish booting up. It paints the box asking
for username and password, which I setup for different users, but does not
display the different valid usernames. When I close that box by clicking the
X, the music plays but it stops right there with a plain blue screen. I've
also tried booting in Safe Mode and it I get a grey screen with Safe Mode in
each corner. I assume that a file or 2 have become corrupted. How do I
recover? I have original Me CD, would reinstalling wipe out other
stuff.....would I need to reinstall everything? would I lose data? I've
also got an XP Upgrade disk. Is this original OS dependent, I think it was
used for 98 SE. Is there another solution that would keep me from having to
reinstall everything and not loose data files?
