Help needed, had to replace my computer

I've turned to Flyertalk for all of my travel problems and questions; I hope somebody here can help me (not a particularly computer savy individual) with a problem. My computer died of hard disk failure, not a big deal really, I was kind of expecting it. I access the internet through my local cable provider.
On my old machine, I click the start button, then click MSN, then click my particular screen name from among four family accounts, enter the password and I'm in. All my favorites are there, categorized into folders (hotel chains, airlines, countries, restaurants, etc.). Perfect.
On this new computer, I don't have the MSN in the start button to click, all I have is an Internet Explorer button; it lets me in to check mail, but doesn't grant me access to all of my "favorites". It's an entirely different screen, with no "open new window" option, no little pop-up when I get mail as well as a lot of other things i hate (not used to).
If I click on an MSN installer, it wants $9.95 a month. Any idea what I should be doing?
Thanks all,
--JD
