For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's easy to reinstall windows, you just need your original windows disk, or if your computer has a recovery partition you need to know how to start the recovery process off.
Afterwards all you need to do is download all the latest drivers and updates for windows. (and reinstall all your software from the original disks)

I suppose before answering too many more questions we ought to know WHY you think you need to reinstall Windows.
It is quite a big undertaking if you have never done it before so you need a good reason to do it.
Is it a desktop PC or laptop, which company made it (Dell, HP etc) and does it have any sort of recovery option (the documentation should tell you).
Also what version of Windows is it ?
p.s. I reinstall Windows now and again on my home PCs and it can take a full day (if not more) to do a full reinstall from scratch, to install drivers, then install Windows updates (this can take hours), then reinstall flash, shockwave, adobe reader, anti virus etc, then reinstall all your programs, and so on.
Not something to be taken lightly.

Here is the Generic User Guide for Emachine G laptops (this is the G630 I cant find one for the G520 but as it is generic it should not matter).

The above link is for another model, but it has both the synaptics and alps drivers, try installing them both, the incorrect one shouldn't install and will give an error.
