Not Urgent: Myst Masterpiece Edition

This is more just curiosity than necessity, but I have not been able to run MME very well at all on any system I've tried.

The requirements:
133 MHz Pentium II or faster (166 recommended)
32 MB RAM
30 MB Available Hard Disk Space
4x CD-ROM or faster
640x480 display, 24-bit or more
DirectX 6.1 compatible sound and video cards.

The systems I've tried to run it on:
Sempron 2300+
512 MB RAM
35 GB available HDD
52x CD
Display and sound conditions met.

Also:
AMD K6-2 500
192 MB RAM
12 GB HDD
etc.

Also:
Pentium II 233
48 MB RAM
5 GB HDD
etc.


Not a one of them will run the game at a decent quality. All of them have some audio distortion. And it can't be my copy of the game, because I've got two.

And they run the original fairly well, so it's not that either.

Any random ideas?
