Hi Simon172 and welcome.

The FZ21-Series is not designed by for use with XP.

It is possible to get limited functionality using the XP Drivers which are made available by Sony for the FZ29-Series and obtaining a third party Video Driver but there are no Utilities available (and no likelyhood of there being any) so some functions will never work with XP.

You will find the XP Drivers here: -

The FZ29-Series uses Intel Graphics - you need to find a XP driver for your nVidia GeForce 8400M GT GPU.
