Linux questions, please help!?

My computer right now is in pretty bad shape. I had XP on it, but it somehow downgraded itself to Windows 98, and there are a lot of problems with the programs and some .DLL and kernel files. I had this before when I upgraded to Windows XP, they went away, and now they are back.
I was wondering about downloading Linux as a main OS, but I’ve read so many things about Linux that I don’t know if my computer would be able to handle the download/new OS. Do you think my computer by the sounds of it could handle it? Since it had the same problems when I upgraded to XP? What are the system requirements?
Also, would Linux work with like AIM, and my Verizon Internet? Also in order to do a live CD, I have Nero. Would I be able to do a live CD off of Nero and a blank regular CD?
Any information like this would be really appreciated.
Thanks for anyone who takes their time and answers me!
