I was given a computer with windows xp on it but no disks.

Found a disk that give me a virus cheker antispam etc and installed it. Now when i starup i get as far as the desktop and icons but as soon as i try to access the programs the computer freezes and i have to switch it of at the plug socket. Any ideas of what to do would be appreciated
