update your XP ... it should work .....
was there any CD ROM with the camera for drivers ...... follow the following
process

1. Uninstall all Minolta drivers associated to the camera
2. Reboot( most probably it will ask for it if not still reboot)
3. Update windows XP
4. Reboot( most probably it will ask for it if not still reboot)
5. Install all drivers for Minolta
6. Reboot ( most probably it will ask for it if not still reboot)

it should work now
