Trying to play Battlezone (the original 1998 CD version) on Win7. Clicking on bzone.exe instantly brings up the crash window "bzone.exe has stopped working". Details:

Same happens after patching to 1.4, putting dgVoodoo2 files in the dir, putting in an older dsound.dll, and setting compatibility modes for the exe file. My PC is an i5 3rd gen, and this happens with both a GeForce 960 & the internal Intel HD graphics.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I want to play the original game only. The 1.5 patch and 98Redux versions made the enemy AI too aggressive and not fun anymore.
