Offer - Blender 2.71 Optimized for WinXP 32bit >>>
Let's face it...Blender is WEIRD!...There also, through the years, has been so many GUI changes...Every so many builds or versions you gotta learn everything over again with so many shortcuts to remember...
After all these years still no built-in help system...
So I suggest to FIND a version that works well on your machine & that you can stomach, source tuts for it & that's it...never upgrade, downgrade...
So many older versions hard to find the very specific builds...The 'general' ones yes...
Here is Blender 2.71 Optimized for XP 32bits...Works pretty well in single or dual-core with 2-4 GB RAM...
