ok, i have a different problem with vista, cant seem to find many
others with this complaint. I've installed the patch, compatible
XPsp2, all that stuff... but when i go to open a campain or skirmish
or pet dungeon, the game screen is blank. i can pick up imps, if i
float my hand over an area it'll tell me if its the dungeon heart or
walls or whatever, i can select where to dig, but i cant see a thing!
Anyone know what to do?

DK is extremely difficult to get running under Vista. I would suggest
setting the compatibility tab to Windows 95. Disable Desktop
Composition, and visual themes. Do a little prayer, and try again.

I've heard people will run DK in DOS mode with DOSBox.

Here's another possiblity, I recall trying this and could not get it to
work, but your milage may vary...

I went into the Windows
DEP (Window key+pause - Advanced System Settings - Performace tab,
Settings - Data Execution Prevention tab - Add) then add the
Keeper95.exe to the list. Then go into the program file Keeper95.exe,
right click it and choose compatibility - Windows XP SP2. Now after
all this, if I run the game from the shortcut it won't work! You have
to go into the program files\bullfrog\keeper\ and run the game by
directly clicking on keeper95.exe. Weird, but worked every time!

Thanks VRG Scotty.
