I have a hard time accomplishing anything useful with the Paint program that
comes with XP. For instance, if you want to crop a photo, the good part had
better be on the left half of the photo, because you can only crop from the
right!
Is there a free download that is better than Paint?
Is there a cheap program that is much better than paint?

Then don't use "paint" - this program has been around since before "digital"
photography existed.

The Gimp is excellent and has as version for Windows. I've never used it
on Windows so I can't speak for its stability on that platform, but it
is a really good program.

Other than that, Googling using the search term, "free paint software"
will get you nearly 4 million hits.
