[CMI] Why is the game locking up?

[Conefed]

I have the original MI3 game. I have installed it. I have attempted to play it three times. The game locks up - a small segment of sound repeats continuously, the mouse doesn't work, a small segment of animations caught at the moment repeat. It locks up early in the game, when I am in the room with the kid pirate. No particular action causes the problem. It seems to be time-based. The first time I attempted to pick up everything in the room and I almost got through the entire pirate dialogue. The second time I inspected everything, picked up what I could, and then looked out the porthold attempting to look/touch/speak at everything. I returned and before I could talk to the pirate, it locked.

Is this a Win95/XP problem?

Any ideas?
Help,

Have you tried running it on ScummVM you just copy files off the disc, see http://www.scummvm.org, it should work fine on XP

When I try and load the game in ScummVM, it won't let me upload any files off the disc.

I'm new btw, my name's Simon. How is everybody?

To use ScummVm, you must have the files in a directory on your hard drive. Don't try to play from the disk. Don't use the install.exe.
