Default XP Repair install,What do You lose? URGENT!

Need help re: "repair install" on XP & whether I will lose only the installed drivers or all programs that are on there as well.Have always done fresh installs regularly,rather than this option, but need a quick solution if possible.
Would really appreciate a quick reply if possible.

Yeah, only drivers and Windows updates will have to be reinstalled/reapplied.

Used it a couple of times ages ago but,couldn't remember if I lost game patches as well.Repair install sometimes leaves you with that feeling of whether or not the system is running at peak or not.Especially if you've done a fresh re install recently.
