Wyvern Crown of Cormyr - Jousting Tournament Bug

Well, I have got through most of the official modules reasonably well, but have got stuck at the Jousting Touurnament in Thunderstone.
All the practicing jousts went off without a hitch. But, in the jousting for real, afterthe first pass, whether I have hit, unseated or missed the opponent, the whole follow through cut scene after the two knights are across from eachother. The background animation and music continues, but I have no more control.
I tried waiting it out: Unsuccessfully. The only escape is to click the X at the top right of the window and end the game. I tried starting over again and changing my attack and defend points as suggested in some onlinefora, but the cut scene still freezes.
Has anyone got past the Jousts? If so how?
Grateful for any advice anyone out there may have on how to get past thecut scene freeze up.
Otherwise this module - which I have found quite enjoyable to this point - is going to go to the unused junk pile.

@JuliusBorisov may know more as well ofc
Saw numerous older posts on this on different sites, all of which seem to say the problem was never addressed.
On the other hand, there are many posts which indicate others have been able to play the whole game through with no problem.
I'm going to start over and see if it makes any difference to the play when I get to the jousting part.
I found that the only way to complete the tournament was to save at every point possible between the jousting bouts and then, when the cut scene freezes, just exit the game and start over again at the last starting point.
I suspect that there may be specific combinations of offensive and defensive actions that cause the cut scene to freeze, but I never had the patience to note down all the ones that caused the problems. [There does not appear to be any bug in the joust training phase.]
I suspect there may be a combination of factors that affect whether or not the game hangs, ranging from in the game software and options taken therein, to the hardware on which the game is played.

Again if anyone can add to this I'm sure the community would greatly appreciate it as it will help get folks through this highly ahoying issue.
