And even if he does find what the problems are, he might not be able to fix them. He might not even *want* to fix them, even if he can; Microsoft finally stopped supporting XP, which is over 13 years old now, so it is expected that software developers will also; they already have, or will in the very near future.
It is not a good idea to stay on Windows XP, except if you have a very good reason. Think about it; Windows 7 is 5 years old already, Windows 8 is 2 years old, and Windows 9 is coming in March/May next year... XP is getting *really* long in the tooth now.
