Here’s a post that summarizes the situation with PHD2 and Windows XP:

If you do a search on this forum for ‘XP’, you’ll find other messages.  We can’t support PHD2 on Windows XP but we haven’t done anything in the app (that we know of) that would preclude its running on XP.  The problems typically have to do with device drivers and other hardware-related software that will no longer run.  

 

Good luck,

Bruce

Until recently I ran PHD2 to guide a Meade LX200GPS with a Thinkpad X41 laptop running XP Pro.

But it wouldn't run on a Thinkpad T21 laptop with XP Pro.

So very much depends on the PC.
