Ahem. This is a newsgroup/mailing list, not IM. I happen to have seen
this within half an hour of you posting it, but that's just luck.
Expecting an "immediate" response is unrealistic.
Furthermore, this is comp.lang.python, a group right up there in pedantry
terms with cam.misc. Wandering in and demanding "immediate" help is just
begging for half a dozen replies that give you detailed and mind-boggling
versions of exactly what you asked for, especially if it's got nothing to
do with the answer you actually need.
So...

Here is my code:
X = "X"
O = "O"
empty = " "

squares = 9
There's a convention (PEP 8, why not go to www.python.org and read it?)
that constants should be given names in CAPITAL_LETTERS_AND_UNDERSCORES so
that you can tell at a glance that they aren't supposed to be changed.
PEP 8 also has things to say about function names.

Here is my problem:
If you hit 'n' at the beginning prompt, the computer does four moves
automatically and wins- you can't input anything.
Sounds like you have a bug in your end-of-turn function. To be fair, it
took me a couple of minutes to be sure I'd spotted this correctly.
If you hit 'y' at
the beginning prompt, you can play but cannot win. I got three x's in
a row and it didn't let me win. It just keeps letting
you input numbers until the computer wins even if you have three in a
row.
Sounds like you have a bug in your check-for-a-win function. That should
be all the hint you need.
