Heck! Windows XP, who uses that these days? Haha
Anyway, joking aside, I think making sure you've got all the service packs installs (1-3), that would be a good start, but I do believe that Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows XP, for obvious reasons, so maybe look at installing, dare I say it, at least Windows Vista, but Windows 7 if you can, as the former kinda was crappy.
Anyway, good luck with it dude.
