you need the airport utility to configure it
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows
App Store - AirPort Utility for iPhone
if you cant connect on wifi ... use an ethernet cable for configuration 
once it is set up you should have no worries...

As what I know about airport extreme it's using dual band 1st is 2.4 Ghz & also 5 Ghz, you need to turn on the 2.4 Ghz in the configuration in order for your old pc to connect while iphone, mac etc will connect to 5GHz band...I think that's only your problem CHEERS!!!

Why you asking this unecessary question and instead use the report button so a moderator can take action on this? Am i right that this would be better then asking non on the facts changing questions?
And this is probably the most wrong place to pick for this sort of post . General Help would be the right section ,anyway thread moved.

if you notice I edit my post to give a newer version
I suggest you search the apple support download
for an older version... there are many available

Just open airport preferences and put security to WEP instead of the default WPA and your xp should connect fine
It's not the ghz bandwidth it's the security protocol that the xp cannot negotiate
