Windows XP Pro help?

My brother sent me a computer with XP Pro installed. After a few months use I get a box telling me to send them $149.95 I didn't and now I can't open most attachments and many other things I can't get to work. How do I get out of XP Pro and get in with a no cost search engine? I'm not computer smart. So if you answer, please go slow.

    MS XP etc are archaic.

    Not to mention costly.

    I'd suggest that you download Linux, either Mandriva or OpenSuse and install them, instead.

    They're free of cost OpenSource OS which are better than Windows.

    The links below will give you how to download and install them. Please choose one of them and install it.

    All the best.
