Audacity 2.0.6 runs on XP SP3 for me. So yes, in principle it runs on such a system. Windows error messages are sometimes misleading and could indicate system file problems.

Audacity downloads are here: http://audacityteam.org/download/windows . If you download elsewhere you may get viruses or versions of Audacity not made by us. Please be careful with XP.
