Also what Operating system are you using, XP? That is probably most important when choosing software.
If all you want to do is crop, adjust brightness and contrast, white balance and stuff like that then perhaps an early version of Lightroom, there is very good PC only software which would probably be perfect for you, I just can't remember the name right now. Doh! The developer is called Andrew...
Photoshop elements could be a good way to get started. There must be many older disks lying around unwanted?
Something like this would probably be fine for you.

ACDsee is another PC photo software with a good name.
However, if you want to do more than that, cloning, layers and blending images, get hold of an early copy of Photoshop, say v5? it was given away with some computers, I have a disk which was a freebie.
Probably best to ask around or visit a computer fair where there are loads of older CD's and DVD's to sort through, you should be able to pick something up for a few $.
