Game pauses (not freeze)

[dubbleD]

Hey
im having a problem while playing aquaria (v1.1.1)
sometimes when i have a mini cinematic (the one im stuck in right now is "the spirit of a krotite warrior..." in The Body), the game just stops
i have the subtitles on and it doesnt change. the game hasnt frozen because naija is still bobbing around in the water. but i cant do anything

I believe its possibly related to some sound issues but im not certain. also, i use windows 7.
I have the subtitles on because i know that after a while, the sound just dies and the game audio is gone. then i have to restart the computer or put it to sleep and wake it up to get back the sound.
can any one help please?

Could be that there's a script corrupt somewhere, you could try reinstalling.

Or perhaps the standard update your drivers, I wonder if sound cards also have drivers that need to be updated a lot.
