I use 7zip an excellent open source compressor/extractor which also integrates into the right-click menu which is handy..

For tar.gz you need to make two steps, decompressing gz then tar.

I have used this too. Works

This is a linux packaging zip like software.

the link: http://www.gzip.org

Here is a link to a site that explains it all and also has links for the gzip windows executable(about midway down the page) which is what you need; they have a version for Win XP.

Pretty sure this will do what you need to do i have used it before for unpacking log files. Worked good on XP.

Good luck also you can do a search for ".tgz" and find other programs to do it.
