Normally I would recommend googling "gimp upgrade".  That would lead you 
to gimp's web page(s) with its offerings and instructions.  But I don't 
believe they'll have anything which runs on WinXP.  Still you could try it.

I'd recommend, though, and much more strongly, that you upgrade out of 
WinXP.  It's not secure and it'll likely catch a virus eventually if you 
use it on the internet.  If you can't afford MS's prices on upgrades, 
give some time to consider Linux.  (The D600 is a 686, isn't it?)  If 
you have sufficient disk space, you could even set up Linux to 
dual-boot, so you'd have WinXP in reserve for any number of reasons.  
Linux would be much more secure and would provide an upgrade path if 
none exists for WinXP.

Last but not least, this list is for gnome and has pretty much nothing 
to do with gimp.  Moreover, this list is pretty much dead; you won't get 
answers here, even when they're about gnome.  In addition, there are 
mailing lists-- well, at least one, directly pertinent to gimp and it 
can't be less active than this one.

Good luck.
