ri-rilot 0 Posted March 25, 2002 Can't seem to get this one to work under XP. I have installed the latest updates (1.7 which gives Win2k compatability). When the game launches all seems fine until you try to start a game at which point it bombs out to the desktop. I see DK2 is listed as an XP compatible game in the database but I can't seem to get any joy with it. Share this post Link to post
Xiven 0 Posted March 25, 2002 As I recall, DK2 only works if you're logged in with an account that has administrative priviledges, so if you're not doing so, try that and see if it works. Share this post Link to post

Dazultra2000 0 Posted March 28, 2002 I managed to run it fine (it went to desktop once in about 50 goes) with all of the lovely bump-mapping eye candy on. Have you tried selecting compatibility mode on dkii.exe properties. Select Windows98/Me Share this post Link to post
ri-rilot 0 Posted March 29, 2002 Ahhh found the problem. I switched the direct sound acceleration down 1 notch and it works fine now. Thx for all the suggestions. Share this post Link to post
