So by the looks of it, it seems that your code is not uploaded because of that error you see. When you press the button, the default program starts.

You can try to follow the instructions in the PDF on this page:

Maybe @tec_support can tell if Makeblock works on WIndows XP … I found a comment somewhere on their page that they did not test it on a version prior to Windows 7. You might need to upgrade to WIndows 10.

This is a known issue due to Arduino’s dropped support of Windows XP. Please try Windows XP Special Version at mBlock’s download page (the link in the middle of the page), which Makeblock’s engineers tried to pick an Arduino version that has better support for Windows XP.
