I'd suggest starting w/ a basic, minimal document which you know  
works, something like:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Palatino Linotype}%This has been included since Windows  
2000
% however, the Win2000 version works, while the WinXP version doesn't
% comment out the above line unless XeTeX's underlying libraries have
% been adapted to work around this.
% Perhaps \setromanfont{Times New Roman} would be more reliable?
\begin{document}
This is a test of XeTeX using Prof.~Hermann Zapf's Palatino Linotype.
\end{document}

If this works, then you can probably trace it down to some aspect of  
font usage or file inclusion in your TeX file.

At a guess from the filename it's a Biblical text? How's it marked  
up? Using what fonts?
