Default Tomb Raider Gold (problem solved)

My sister just got tomb raider gold, for pc, for me and I'm having trouble playing it.

I tried to install it on my windows XP computer and it messed with the video driver SOO bad that I had to shut off my computer and restart. (pull out the power cable so it wouldn't save the problem in the settings)

After that I loaded up my install of "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007" with a Win98 OS on it and THEN stuck in my TR-gold disk and everything started fine... however...

After a few minutes, I started hearing this extremely wierd clicking sound that wouldn't go away until I shut the game off. (though the virtual PC was still running)

And in addition to my audio problem, I later noticed that it wasn't playing the cutscenes.
The opening intro was completely skipped.

The way I figure is that I need a special codec patch to play it.
(I believe this because my 98-virtual pc can't play the RPL files on the disk using it's WMP - I've had other games not play intros because I didn't have the right codec)

I don't want to try it on my actual computer again because I fear I might have to reload my OS. (my sister had to do that because, trying to play phantasmagoria broke her computer when she got that same video glitch)

So does anyone have a win98 patch that will let the game play the cutscenes and will get rid of that annoying clicking sound?
