How to play original Bz on Windows XP?

If you're running off a stock CD install, 1: remove or rename the "anims" folder that is located in the battlezone folder. 2: Remove or rename the .cur files in the battlezone folder. 3: If you don't have the 1.4 patch, or for some strange reason can't find a way to install it, download one of the multiple full installers marked BZ1.4 followed by a letter. These come with the patch installed. There is also a good mod/updated exe build called BZE, although it operates on a different server then stock BZ.

Works on XP SP2 straight out of the box for me.

All I had to do was find out what Video Card I had. Then pasted the bzplayer/config into the bz2 folder

I'd suggest editing your render.cfg file so it's appropriate for your card.

By default, if you're not sure, turn all the pre-load options off by placing a ; in front of those lines.
Turn MipMaps off by doing the same to that line also.
