Dungeon keeper 2, just most of the other bullfrog games, is so ahead of its time that it is buggy and crash-prone. So I suggest you save frequently, get patches, and don't do 200x200 maps.

As soon as the .exe is clicked, it crashes with "dkII.exe has stopped working" error. Does this on all compatibility options.

A good ideea is to go in the control panel and set to 16 bit instead of 32 bit. It will solve the crush problem, and in the worst case scenario you will play the game with a few colors.

Finally got it to work.. v1.7 under Windows Vista 32bit.. Win XP SP2 Compatibility..
When I edited the registry like that other person suggested, It wouldn't start/load any games anymore.. And then I went into options, and checked the box next to 'hardware acceleration' and that made it stop crashing/being slow.

So now, I played DK2 non-stop for a few hours, completed all 6 pet dungeons without the game ever crashing :D -relieved-

So yeah, I hope this helps... someone at least :P

I have a patched version of Dungeon Keeper 2, but I can't hear any sound, it works just fine but I can't hear a thing, please HELP ME, I've tried with the 1.7 patch, but it won't work if I don't have it installed in my computer, since it is a patched version it just works without installing, so I don't have idea what to do.

Works fine in Vista x86 (64 bit NOT tested). I've had one crash after something like 3 hours, but luckily I had just finished a level and saved the game. Works by installing the game, patching to 1.7, applying the no-cd crack, and setting Compatibility Mode to "Windows XP SP2". Optionally (if you want improved video quality) you can set -32biteverything on the command line, but the game will work regardless. No issues with Aero support. Resolutions above 1024x768 cause some text to become invisible, because Dungeon Keeper does not have a large enough font, but keeper notices ("A Bile Demon has become unhappy because he hasn't been paid", etc) are still visible (albeit in very tiny writing). Widescreen resolutions (1280x800, 1680x1050, 1920x1200) cause the minimap to deform and minor glitches in researching spells/traps, but no playability issues. Set the resolution by going into regedit and editing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bullfrog Productions Ltd\Dungeon Keeper II\Configuration\Video\Screen Width and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bullfrog Productions Ltd\Dungeon Keeper II\Configuration\Video\Screen Height. Be sure to set the editing mode in regedit from "Hexadecimal" to "Decimal".

1.6 patch - works like a charm in Vista, if installed and run in Compatibility Mode:2000

This is the first time ever, in the history of the game, that I have been able to get it to run consistently, without all the random crashes to the desktop with no warning and no error.

Good game, one of my old-time favourites. However after 10-20 minutes of playing I find myself commanding my my desktop shortcuts! No error messages from game or OS. Indication to a close crash is a choppy sound. Found out myself the game *never crashes* when sound is off - mean alternative huh...
