COMI: Broken subtitles

Description
I've launched the game from CD in fullscreen mode with subtitles set to *off* (scummvm --path=E:\ -- fullscreen --no-subtitles comi), selected the Mega Monkey mode, pressed Escape (twice) to skip intro. Then, after "Part I" screen, Guybrush appeared near Wally and started to speak. From time to time broken lines like "here and help Elaine", "ugh this one door...", and "rpower the armed guards above..." appeared. Plus, there were some delays in character and mouse movements, and therefore asynchronization in sound/animation.
It is possible to reproduce this effect, but I can't say how exactly. Say, from about 8 game launches there were 5 with broken subtitles.
But when I've launched it 4-5 times from HDD, everything was OK.

Yes, there still this problem (ScummVM 0.7.0CVS (Apr 5 2004 11:16:49)).
Think, the main problem is that game is running hard from CD (I'm not sure you understand what I want to say - I don't speak English well). When playing CoMI directly from under Windows (w/o ScummVM) everything is OK. So as playing it with ScummVM from HDD.
But of course even if there are "delays in movements", think broken subtitles shouldn't appear, especially in no-subtitles mode.

aquaduan, could you look into this issue ? I noticed imuse digital sometimes falsely reports the talk channel has finished.

Actually, doesn't this fall into the category "playing stuff directly from CD is not supported under Windows" category? :-)

No, I have seen this happen once before too and I always play from hard disk.

Well, so do you mean you can reproduce this, too, Kirben, or do yuo mean that you once saw this, but never again?
In any case, I don't see what we can do about a problem we (or at least I) can't reproduce at all...

Can you still reproduce the problem with a current CVS build?
AFAIK there in general troubles with playing games directly from under Windows (using ScummVM at least).
