Sounds like a major mess to me :(

Wait and see what others might suggest, but it sounds like you need to format your hard drive and do a clean install of Win XP.

Did you have a dual boot system? That "Microsoft Windows" you used to have sounds like eg Win98.

A few specs about your PC would be useful. It may be too old/weak to run WinXP.

I agree with Mike here, you need to wipe your hard disk, and reinstall fresh.

There are good instructions for this proceedure available here, courtesy of a resident expert, Catweazle:

Hope this helps.
