KQ7 hangs in Windows 3.1

Does anyone know how to fix the crash/hang problems in Windows 3.1? For example, right after the first dust cloud appears in the kangaroo rat being chased by the jackalope scene, the animation stops and everything is unresponsive but the music keeps going.

It's version 2.00b (anyone else who has the "Gamer's Pack" version has my sympathy, Vista refuses to read the disc but its fine under dos and xp), I'd prefer not to use the dos version though because this is an old computer and I can only get midi through Windows.

I have not heard of this error and have no way to test it, as I do not have an old 3x machine. The DOS version does runs perfectly in DOSBox.

It happens every time I try and start a new game, fresh install of Win3.1 with just the video and sound drivers installed. I know it runs perfectly in DOSBox, I use that for my 64-bit machine.

Is it just the game that locks up or is it the PC?

I would assume its just the game since the midi sequencer is still playing the track.
