Before you do any changes to your operating system, BACK UP YOUR DATA.
If you have not yet bought an upgrade package, try UBUNTU or XUBUNTU. They are free, reliable and up to date operating systems. Once you have one of these installed you have access to over 5,000 free programs.

Put in your new OS disc (eg XP or whatever)
Reboot your PC and let it boot from CD
Format and Install.
Make sure you back up all your data first.
