need to factory restore. no disks. will i loose all functioning? dont want to lose internet

Pavilion Entertainment Notebook  dv5-1150us, Windows Vista 64-bit     I've run out of space on drive D (HP_Recovery). My most used program will not save newly created or changes made to existing files. This is a program to create printed materials (Open Office.Org draw) and was installed after I purchased the notebook. I've tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no success. This and the internet are basically all I use this computer for any more. I don't have any restore discs. If I try to restore to Factory Settings am I risking losing access to the internet? I've backed up all important files to a USB.

Hi:

 

Did you read this link on how you might be able to free up disk space on the recovery partition?
