What is DF?

and now i install again bitcoin on my laptop but the address show on bitcoin its new

Installing Bitcoin won't harm an existing installation but it is always a good idea to make a backup before upgrading the software, for instance.

my question if vendor sent bitcoin to my lost address is still i will have that money?

Just to make sure you aren't misunderstanding something ... your wallet doesn't have "an address" it has "many addresses".

Your wallet will hold many addresses, and you can still receive funds at a previously used address.

If you click the Addressbook, you will see your addresses.

If you didn't save the wallet file, the coins are lost. Without the private key, there is no way they can ever be spent.

Ya, you might consider using Blockchain.info/wallet rather than trying to run Bitcoin from a system that has no persistent storage.
