I have followed all instructions on this fourm and they have helped me
play the game with the latest patch, however I am experincing a lot of
crahses in game, the crashses only occur when I have clicked on a random
item on the tool bar, or I have used a hotkey to open them, anyone have
any ideas how I can fix this?
I know this is an old thread however the infomation contained within
should be helpful to others who can help me fix my problem. I love DK2!

Hey guys,
This game has been such a classic for me and this forum helped me run
it on my Vista machines. I never could get it to work properly, it
always seemed to crash by clicking the Objectives menu or when the game
got too big.
Anyways, I'm now running Windows 7 (64 bit), and the game works
PERFECTLY for me.
-Run it in Windows 2000 compatibility mode
-Disable Visual Themes
-Disable Desktop composition
-I have everything turned off in game: water translucency, environment
mapping, and hardware acceleration.
--Please note, I had hardware acceleration ON and it seemed to function
just fine. Also you can play with the QSound option if the audio is
funny.
Windows 7 has a downloadable Virtual Machine which can run XP, I tried
this first to run DKII but it didn't run at all for me... so thank
goodness windows 7 runs it fine anyhow.
Good luck everybody! Here's hoping for DKIII.
(Mods please leave this post to help all DKII fans out there)
