Original Message:   I found a work-around
I'm also running Windows 7 x64, and had a similar problem. I was able to patch to 1.3a (straight from 1.2, no 1.3 intermediate). So I haven't tested all iterations of compatibility modes, but I used Mok's cshell.dll, and switched to windows 98 compatibility mode. I started a new game, and it again froze on the loading screen. However, when I tab-shifted out to desktop and then returned to the game, everything was fine. I saved and loaded, it froze again, but tabbing-out returning worked again.
