I don't know. I had a similar problem on my Dell laptop recently. It is lower spec than yours. I finally got it to work, but can't play HD (720p upwards)
That does not surprise me, considering it's 2GB RAM, and 1.6 MHz cpu.

And install the latest version of VLC,

Since you downgraded your OS from W7 to XP, you might need to install the latest DirectX Runtime from Microsoft. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics processor (download them from Dell site, if available).

Why did you downgrade from Windows 7, Windows XP support dies in 2014.

i did because my system was not performing very well on windows7, so i thought it will perform on windows XP. But not succeded.
I will try it by downloading the latest drivers for my graphics card.
