Are you playing it on XP?? If so, there is a thread in 'Glitches" with a site to go to for the 'FIX'.
I had freezes, sparkling lights while on the gondola, and kicks to desktop every few minutes, with the DVD version.
Thought I saved the site, but can't find it. Just do a search for 'Legacy of Time".
"EDIT" Here is Jenny100's post that got me going.

Here is a reference They recommended turning audio acceleration all the way down. Someone with DirectX 9 said he had to revert to DirectX 8.1 to get it working.
