You need to upgrade both the offline and the online wallet.

#1 download https://electrum.org/#download & verify
#2 transfer to offline system
#3 install
#4 start
#5 if needed (you should not have to) restore from seed.

You should update your OS urgently my friend, because you are going to encounter more and more problems if you keep using Windows XP. Windows XP was a very stable OS and i also liked it very much, but now support is finished, so are security updates, and if i were you, i would upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as possible.
Because Windows 7 is even better and more stable than Windows XP was, and above all you will be up-to-date again, as Windows 7 keeps getting security updates, which can't be said from Windows XP.
Windows XP is an outdated OS now, no more support from Microsoft, no more updates, so think about upgrading my friend !

I noticed that the latest Tails 1.6 still has Electrum 1.9.8 on board. Will Tails get Electrum updates in future?

solved: Tails 1.8 is out.
