We need more info here. First of all, are you using xp 32 with blender 32 bit? 64bit is not supported at all on XP.

Also, did you install the VC2013 redistributable libs? see http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Finally, could you please run blender from a commandline, and paste here the error messages?

Both 2.71 and the buildbot builds work for me on windows XP SP3 in a virtual machine without any VC2013 redistributable installed.

I regard windows XP as a best effort platform.

The following are NOT considered a bug:

Not having proper OpenGL drivers
Trying to run blender with python 2.7 libraries. ( This will not work and is not intended to work ever )
Not having a supported versions of windows. ( For windows 7 please update to service pack 1, for Vista update update update.. but it should work after you fully updated )

That being said I will try and keep windows XP working as best I can.

Please try:

installing latest video drivers
If that doesn't help try download opengl32.dll from ftp://ftp.blender.org/sergey/softwaregl/ and put it next to blender.exe. This will switch Blender to use fully software opengl eliminating possible interference with bugs in there.
make sure PYTHONPATH / PYTHONHOME etc etc are not set as environments and pointing to a python 2.7 install
