You may also want to try installing some linux distro, linux is a free, modern OS that runs more smoothly than Windows 7 on older computers. I suggest Linux Mint, but Ubuntu would work too and is also very popular.
The latest version of calibre will run perfectly on Linux (again, assuming your hardware supports sse2, which many computers sold with WinXP do).
Suggesting people switch from XP to Linux is a rather bad idea.
