I think I'm screwed. I can't even open up a JPG file on my desktop. It says "reinstall app(lication)."

I wonder if you haven't managed to size your desktop resolution to a nonstandard size not appropriate for your monitor. Can you get to that control panel? Right click the desktop - properties - settings.

If your hard drive is formatted as NTFS, you are likely fine. FAT32 is a more fragile drive format; however, defrag should let your computer work just fine even if it fails because it copies before erasing/overwriting.

You are still able to boot up, so it is likely your loss is minimal if at all.
