Compatibilty Mode.

Properties> compatibility mode, chose 95 or 98.

Try that. Or launch it via cmd.

I liked playing this DOS based Jazz in my old 486

when i upgraded to PIII, it didn't work there :(

now I have P4 and using XP, I have never tried it in XP,
sure it will not work

i think the Jazz is not compatible beyond Pentium I
