In our experience, 3.1c was the best on Windows (Googling vw31c should find it) - 3.1d was compiled with the "wrong" Visual C++ version, and messed up whether menus showed up in the task bar and Alt-Tab list.
If your old image won't start up, or starts up and hangs, try making a Windows shortcut to the executable with the image as an argument, and setting the shortcut's Compatibility settings and maybe Display mode settings to 256 colors.
