Okay I feel really weird asking this, there really should be a forum or subreddit somewhere just for fixing old games... Anyway, I installed mc2 from the disc, applied the unnecessary windows 7 patch, tried compatibility mode for xp sp1-3, win2000.

The game runs super smooth but whenever it saves it doesn't advance to the next screen. It does actually save so I can alt-f4 and still have my progress but it just says saving forever. The music and physics don't stop and the game doesn't go unresponsive...
 


I don't have the steam version but I'll try the discussions there.
