i use the latex package epstopdf:

\usepackage{epstopdf}
...
\includegraphics{images/firgures.eps}

now you have to run pdflatex with the parameter -shell-escape:

pdflatex -shell-escape document.tex

now pdflatex will convert your eps images to pdf
i dont know if it works on xp. with texlive/linux it works
