  recently got my hands on an old game, jin yong qun xia zhuan.
  
  tried installing and playing it from command prompt... can get into the game and play e starting sequence, den after get out of the hero's hse, will auto jump out of the game and back to windows...
  
  den tried playing from windows, setting the compatibility to win 95, win 98, win nt... also the same thing happen
  
  i m on xp OS, does anyone know why like dat? how to play back this old nostalgic game?

  seems like the game is not compatible with XP.

  that's a very good game, i forgot how many times i completed it. with different teams.
  
  all sword user
  all girls(except main charater)
  all fist user
  all zuoyouhubo user("zuoyouhubo" is the skill that make you hit twice per turn)
  all bad ppl/good ppl(that's common)
  and other combo of teams i can remember all.
  And then later i play with editing, not just edit my charater to be very powerful, but i edit the "wugong", make some wugong can hit the whole screen, change the name of the wugong. Many many thing can edit.
  
  OK. sorry, too much crap, back to your problem.
  Perhaps your version is not correct. or you should run "play.bat" instead of "*.exe".
  try using the bat file first. If cannot, d/l other version, 20+MB only, just download.

  try the few google links above, there should be a download page with the xp playable version.

  try this one, scroll down and look for a link "xia zai di zhi 1"(download address 1) it will pop up a very small blank window. dont close it, wait for the download window to come up.
  
  this version works for me in XP. u need to unzip and unzip again, then u run either Z.com or play.bat
  
  i try starting a new game, walk to the inn, save in the big map, quit and load again. no problem.
