Is there a way I can determine if my system has a free PCI slot
without opening the case? Some little used applet in WinXP?

Certainly not an infallible method, but often just looking st the slots on the back of your computer case will identify which slots are occupied. If you (or someone who is helping you) sees ports or connectors on these slots, it's a good bet that there's a card in the slot.
